Tennessee whitewater - Clear Fork, Cumberland Plateau Mountains, Scott County

Scott county, Brewster Bridge to Burnt Mill Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II+     10 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Tennessee is often tougher than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The Brewster Bridge to Burnt Mill Bridge stretch of Clear Fork is 10 miles long and is a class II+ section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. 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. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. The put-in location is a reasonable
drive from Harriman. The wonderful Tennessee scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. The beautiful Cumberland Plateau Mountains scenery is an added bonus. This river system is full of great paddling sections, the Brewster Bridge to Burnt Mill Bridge section is just one of them.

Briefly about the general area:
Clear Fork is a quite wet place regularly with a good deal of precipitation; March is when you get the most rain here, and October on the other hand is the driest. Summer brings
 
highs in the 80's to Clear Fork. When the night sets in temperatures plunge down into the 60's. All through the winter highs are in the 40's, and nighttime lows in the 20's for Clear Fork.
You need to go to Horseshoe Bend while you're here at Clear Fork; Meeting Bend is an exciting thing to distinguish since you're here. These mountains rock, just look at all the entertaining things to do in the Cumberland Plateau Mountains.
