Hamilton county, Waldens Ridge to Soddy Daisy section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V+     2.5 miles
  The Waldens Ridge to Soddy Daisy stretch of Falling Water Creek is 2.5 miles long and is a class IV-V+ section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. If you're coming from Chattanooga it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The beautiful scenery of Tennessee and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. Whether you're whitewater rafting or
    kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Waldens Ridge to Soddy Daisy section is one of them. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking
outside Tennessee you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. There are some good hotels near the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is a somewhat short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming  
back for more. There's camping available near Falling Water Creek.
