This stretch of Little Soddy Creek in Tennessee is 1.6 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV-V+ section. This is a bit of a short stretch so better bring some good
    walking shoes. The beauty of the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is a great plus for this river. 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. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system,
the Hotwater Road to Back Valley Road section is just one of many. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good spots.
