The put-in location is a short drive from Crossville, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors
    are great attractions for lots of people. The beautiful scenery of Fentress County and the water flowing gracefully down Hurricane Creek will make you feel great. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have
reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is a pretty decent length section, it's good length for a morning trip.
