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 | |
