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

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

 
  The nature scenery of Sequatchie County and the cool fresh water beats anything. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Chattanooga. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, 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 rivers for that. Coal
    Bank doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the ridge stretch is the only one. The river winds through the Cumberland Plateau Mountains and you get great scenery. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. This
is a very short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. There's camping available near Coal Bank.

Briefly about the general area:
Throughout the summer months at Coal Bank highs are generally in the 80's, and during the night it cools down to the 60's. Daytime highs throughout the wintertime are in the 40's with temperatures at Coal Bank dipping down into the 20's all through winter nights. Don't forget to visit Wolfpen Point while you're here at Coal Bank.
All the water falling down from the sky makes Coal Bank a wet site; March is the month that gets the most rain; the driest month is June.
