    find a large number of good places. The wild scenery of the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is great. This is a pretty decent length section, it's perfect for a one day trip. The Woodcock Gulf to Daus section of Woodcock Creek in Tennessee is 6 miles long and has been determined by
American Whitewater to be a class IV-V+ section.
