The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Tennessee are often more challenging than in other states, so don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The wonderful Scott County scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good places for that around here. The Brewster Bridge to Burnt Mill |
Bridge stretch of Clear Fork in Scott County is 10 miles long and is a class II+ section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. You can enjoy this section more if you take your time, so why not pack your camp stove
| too. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. The beautiful Cumberland Plateau Mountains scenery is an added bonus. There's camping available near Clear Fork. This is not the only paddling section in this river system, there are others too. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. | |

The starting location is a reasonable drive from Harriman.
Briefly about the general area: Don't leave Clear Fork without first checking out Horseshoe Bend, and the great folks of Sunbright like to hang out nearby.
Yep, outdoors amusing stuff truly is abundant here in the Cumberland Plateau Mountains. Meeting Bend is a fine location to explore while in the area. A spree to Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area is worthwhile,
and hiking along the Ridge Trail is splendid fun. Pickett State Park is a picturesque place any time of year, and do take a hike on the Hidden Passage Trail.
