Cumberland
county,
Big Lick to Sutton Dam section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-II 17.5 miles
I like your article. I'm from Big Lick (I'm proud to say) and it is very beautiful out here. That stretch of creek, in this article, also offers some really good fishing. I have a picture on my website of Sutton Dam at www.biglickclick.com It's in the photo gallery. I also have a picture of the Sequatchie River at the Head of the Valley in Big Lick. I checked out your map it's a little off Big Lick Rd isn't there anymore. Also the woods behind my house touches the red dot and daddy's creek :-) Also, if you like the big rapids go the other way towards
the Devil's Breakfast Table in Catoosa. Talk about beautiful country (''Gods country'') and exhilirating white water. All part of Daddy's Creek!! If you use my picture please give credit to the BigLickClick.com. Thanks!! Says Johnnie Hassler
The rivers for whitewater rafting
and kayaking here in Tennessee are often tougher than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The put-in location is a short drive from Crossville, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good places for that around here. The natural beauty of Cumberland County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. Getting some
good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a
room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The Big Lick to Sutton Dam section of Daddy's Creek in Cumberland County is 17.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great
campgrounds nearby. The Cumberland Plateau Mountains scenery is wonderful. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your camp stove.
Briefly about the general area: Parham Gap is a good site to spend some time at; Head
of Sequatchie is a nice local attraction. All through the warm days of summer highs here at Daddy's Creek get into the 80's. Once the sun is down it drops down to the 60's. Throughout the wintertime highs are typically in the 40's, and nighttime lows in the 20's for Daddy's Creek.
Now, you may assume that's loads but there's even more exciting stuff to do here in the Cumberland Plateau Mountains. Daddy's Creek is a wet location that gets much rain; the month with most of the rain is March; October meanwhile is the driest month.
