CLASS II-IV 1.5 miles
If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so you'd better keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. The wonderful Tennessee scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The Cascades stretch of Cove Creek in Sevier County is 1.5 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-IV section of whitewater. The put-in is not too far from Sevierville, please print
out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. This is a somewhat short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. This is the only paddling section along Cove Creek. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking
this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great attractions for lots of people. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
