Tennessee whitewater - Daddy's Creek, Cumberland Plateau Mountains, Cumberland County 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 Big Lick to Sutton Dam section of Daddy's Creek in Cumberland County is 17.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section. The scenic beauty of Cumberland County and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Tennessee is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. No matter   if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling places. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the Big Lick to Sutton Dam section is one of them.
