    in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. The beautiful Great Smoky Mountains scenery is an added bonus. The natural beauty of Tennessee and the playfulness of the water beats anything. If you're coming from Sevierville it's not a long drive at all to the starting
location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came.
