Tennessee whitewater - Mammys Creek, Cumberland Plateau Mountains, Cumberland County

Cumberland county, US 70 to US 27 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 
  The starting point is not too far from Crossville, as you can see on the road map further down. The average Tennessee whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so better not forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. The beautiful scenery of Cumberland County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water attract people from near and far. The nearby
    hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. There's camping available near Mammys Creek. There are no other stretches to paddle along Mammys Creek than the US 70 to US 27 stretch. The Cumberland Plateau Mountains scenery is wonderful.
If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your camp stove. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling rivers.
