The put-in location is a short drive from Chattanooga. The natural beauty of Tennessee and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. 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. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Tennessee is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. This section of Cain Creek in
| Tennessee is 6 miles long and has been rated as a class IV-V section by American Whitewater. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This stretch has has enough mileage, good for a one day paddling trip. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good places for that around here. The Barker Camp Road to Bowater Parking lot stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system. | |

When you're paddling down a Cumberland Plateau Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too.
Briefly about the general area: Little Bend is an interesting location to take a look
at while at Cain Creek. This is a popular place for people from Signal Mountain, and you must unquestionably explore Big Bend while here. This is a great river. Going for a hike on the Hardy Trail is always a great adventure.
Booker T. Washington State Park is a wonderful place; do schedule some time to stop at Redbird Point if you have a chance. Everybody loves Harrison Bay State Park.
