Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The put-in is not too far from Cookevi lle, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting
    or kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. There are a few other sections in this river system that
can be paddled as well. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip. This section of Spring Creek in Jackson County is 4 miles long and is a class II-III(IV) section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The nature scenery of Tennessee and the cool fresh water make the trip here worthwhile. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
