to Caney Fork section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
The nature scenery of Warren Van Buren County and the water flowing gracefully down Rocky River attract people from near and far. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The beauty of the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is a great plus for this river. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good places for that around here. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. If you're
coming from McMinnville it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. Rocky River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the to Caney Fork stretch is the only one. Great exercise and
just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. This stretch is mid length, suitable for an afternoon trip. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
