Savage Gulf section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
If you're coming from McMinnville it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The Cumberland Plateau Mountains scenery is wonderful. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so better not forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. On this section you do get some
distance, it's perfect for a one day trip. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here. There are no other stretches to paddle along Savage Creek than the Savage
Gulf stretch. The beautiful scenery of Tennessee and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more.
