    with plenty of rivers for that. 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. The put-in is not too far from Knoxville, as you can see on the road map further down. The beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains
is a great plus for this river. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here.

The campgrounds here at Doublecamp Creek are pretty good.
