FR 341 to Holly Springs Road Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III-IV(V+) 3 miles
The beautiful scenery of Tennessee and the water flowing gracefully down Conasauga Creek have people coming here. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Tennessee are often more challenging than in other states, so don't forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. The FR 341 to Holly Springs Road Bridge section of Conasauga Creek in Monroe County is 3 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class III-IV(V+) section of whitewater. The beautiful Great Smoky Mountains scenery is an added bonus. There aren’t any hotels
right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This section is quite short so better bring some good walking shoes. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions
for lots of people. The FR 341 to Holly Springs Road Bridge section is the only paddling section along Conasauga Creek. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
