Tennessee whitewater - Coal Bank, Cumberland Plateau Mountains, Sequatchie County

Sequatchie county, ridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Tennessee is often more difficult than elsewhere, so don't forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. The wonderful Sequatchie County scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down
    the stream beats anything. Whitewater paddling here in the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is a great experience. The starting point is not too far from Chattanooga. This is the only paddling stretch along Coal Bank. This is a very short section so better bring some good walking
shoes. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come.
