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 scenic beauty of Tennessee and the water flowing gracefully down Clear Fork beats anything. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Crossville. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Tennessee is often more difficult than elsewhere, so don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. The Gatewood Bridge to Brewster Bridge section of Clear Fork in Morgan/ Scott/ Fentress County is 12 miles long and it is classified as
    a class I-II section by American Whitewater. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good places. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the Gatewood Bridge to Brewster Bridge section is just
one of many. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. The river winds through the Cumberland Plateau Mountains and you get great scenery. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
