Tennessee whitewater - Mullens Creek, Cumberland Plateau Mountains, Marion County

Marion county, Prentice Cooper State Park to Mullens Cove section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V(V+)     4 miles
  The nature scenery of Tennessee and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The starting location is a short drive from Chattanooga, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. 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. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. This is the only paddling stretch along Mullens Creek. This stretch of Mullens Creek is 4 miles long and it is classified as
a class IV-V(V+) section by American Whitewater. The wild scenery of the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is great. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling places. There's camping available near Mullens Creek. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip.
