The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Crossville, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The wonderful Tennessee scenery and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Tennessee is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The river winds through the Cumberland Plateau Mountains and you get great scenery. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. You might have |
|
to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your sleeping bag. The US 70 to US 27
| section is the only paddling section along Mammys Creek. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers.
