Says Michael The Highway 90 bridge to Sandy Beach Cove stretch of Cumberland River - Clear Fork is 3 miles long and it is classified as a class II-III section by American Whitewater. The starting point     is not too far from La Follette. There are some good hotels near the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This river system is full of great paddling sections, the Highway 90 bridge to Sandy Beach Cove section is just one of them. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way in this general area you won't find many other paddling places. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Tennessee is often tougher than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere.   The natural beauty of Campbell County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. The beauty of the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is a great plus for this river. This section is quite short so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Briefly about the general area: Places like Indian Mountain State Park are great to check out, and there are plenty of folks from Jellico here. If you want a pleasant time in the great outdoors just come on up to the Cumberland Plateau Mountains.     Stats Stats for this river stretch Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available near Cumberland River - Clear Fork.   Whitewater Near Cumberland River - Clear Fork: Cumberland River - Clear Fork, Campbell County, 1 miles away       Class II-III - 3 miles long (Highway 90 bridge to Sandy Beach Cove) Cumberland River, Whitley/McCreary County, 16 miles away       Class I-II - 12 miles long (Redbird Kentucky204 Bridge to Cumberland Falls) Whitewater Outfitter - Sheltowee Trace Outfitters, Mccreary County, 21 miles away       Whitewater outfitter Cumberland River, Whitley/ McCreary County, 25 miles away       Class II-III - 11 miles long (Cumberland Falls to Laurel River) Bark Camp Creek, Whitley County, 26 miles away       Class III-IV - 0 miles long (Old Fluffy) Laurel River, Laurel County, 27 miles away       Class II-III(IV) - 2 miles long (Below Laurel River Lake)   Ski Areas Near Cumberland River - Clear Fork: Ober Gatlinburg, Tennessee , 59 miles away, 600 foot drop, 3 lifts, 8 runs Cataloochee, North Carolina , 87 miles away, 740 foot drop, 4 lifts, 10 runs   Marinas Near Cumberland River - Clear Fork: Sugar Hollow Dock, La Follette , 12 miles away Whitman Hollow Boat Dock, La Follette , 14 miles away Flat Hollow Marina & Resort, Speedwell , 14 miles away Twin Cove Marina, Caryville , 17 miles away Sequoyah Marina, Andersonville , 17 miles away   Hotels Near Cumberland River - Clear Fork: Days Inn Jellico - Tennessee State Line, Jellico , 6 miles away Super 8 Williamsburg, Williamsburg , 12 miles away Cumberland Inn, Williamsburg , 12 miles away Hampton Inn Williamsburg KY, Williamsburg , 12 miles away Comfort Inn Pioneer, Pioneer , 17 miles away   Campgrounds Near Cumberland River - Clear Fork: Williamsburg Motel, Williamsburg, 4 miles away Indian Mountain State Park, Jellico, 6 miles away Powell Valley Resort, La Follette, 11 miles away   Trails Near Cumberland River - Clear Fork: Deer Trail, Anderson , 19 miles away River Bluff Trail, Anderson , 19 miles away   Public Lands Near Cumberland River - Clear Fork: Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area, Oneida - TN , 32 miles away Obed Wild & Scenic River, Wartburg - TN , 48 miles away Indian Mountain State Park, Tennessee , 6 miles away Norris Dam State Park, Tennessee , 17 miles away Cove Lake State Park, Tennessee , 17 miles away   Golf Courses Near Cumberland River - Clear Fork: The Golf Course, Williamsburg , 17 miles away Rarity Point Golf & Country, Lenoir City , 18 miles away   Lakes Near Cumberland River - Clear Fork Chenoa Lake, Bell , 16 miles away Swan Pond, Knox , 18 miles away Norris Lake, Anderson , 19 miles away
