Tennessee whitewater, Daddy's Creek

Cumberland county, Big Lick to Sutton Dam section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     17.5 miles
 
I like your article. I'm from Big Lick (I'm proud to say) and it is very beautiful out here. That stretch of creek, in this article, also offers some really good fishing. I have a picture on my website of Sutton Dam at www.biglickclick.com It's in the photo gallery. I also have a picture of the Sequatchie River at the Head of the Valley in Big Lick. I checked out your map it's a little off Big Lick Rd isn't there anymore. Also the woods behind my house touches
    the red dot and daddy's creek :-) Also, if you like the big rapids go the other way towards the Devil's Breakfast Table in Catoosa. Talk about beautiful country (''Gods country'') and exhilirating white water. All part of
Daddy's Creek!! If you use my picture please give credit to the BigLickClick.com. Thanks!! Says Johnnie Hassler

The beautiful scenery of Tennessee and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. If you're coming from Crossville it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in
 
this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. The Big Lick to Sutton Dam section is one of many paddling sections in this river system. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so why not pack your camping stuff too. The Big Lick to Sutton Dam section of Daddy's Creek in Tennessee is 17.5 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II section by American Whitewater.
