Tennessee whitewater - Clear Fork, Cumberland Plateau Mountains, Morgan/ Scott/ Fentress County

Morgan/ Scott/ Fentress county, Gatewood Bridge to Brewster Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     12 miles
  The Gatewood Bridge to Brewster Bridge stretch of Clear Fork in Morgan/ Scott/ Fentress County is 12 miles long and has been rated as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. The put-in location is a short drive from Crossville. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that around here. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The sections for whitewater rafting
    and kayaking here in Tennessee are often more challenging than in other states, so don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. When you're paddling down a Cumberland Plateau Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. This is not
the only paddling section in this river system, there are others too. The campgrounds here at Clear Fork are pretty good. The scenic beauty of Morgan/ Scott/ Fentress County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why not pack your camping stuff too. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near.
