Tennessee whitewater - Falling Water Creek, Hamilton County

Hamilton county, Waldens Ridge to Soddy Daisy section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V+     2.5 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The natural beauty of Hamilton County and the water flowing gracefully down Falling Water Creek make the trip here worthwhile. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. No shortage of good hotels, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. There are campgrounds
    quite near the river where you can camp. The Waldens Ridge to Soddy Daisy stretch is the only paddling stretch along Falling Water Creek. This is a pretty short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. Getting your paddling muscles activated
and spending some quality time in nature have people coming from far and near. The put-in is not too far from Chattanooga, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that.

Briefly about the general area:
A trip to Barker Spring will fill your spirit with tremendous feelings, and taking a little trip to nearby Buzzard Point is a glorious idea. Pickett Gulf is a perfect spot to go to nearby, and don't leave Falling Water Creek without first paying a visit to Falling Water Falls.
