Eastland Road to Caney Fork section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS V 0.98 miles
The average Tennessee whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The Eastland Road to Caney Fork section of Clifty Creek is 0.98 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class V section. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of spots for that. The starting location is a short drive from Crossville. Clifty Creek doesn't have a lot
of paddling stretches, the Eastland Road to Caney Fork stretch is the only one. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. There are campgrounds quite
near the river where you can camp. This stretch is very short so better bring some good walking shoes. The wonderful Tennessee scenery and the cool fresh water have people coming here. Whitewater paddling here in the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is a great experience. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come.
