Tennessee whitewater, Little Soddy Creek

Hamilton county, Hotwater Road to Back Valley Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V+     1.6 miles
  The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Chattanooga, as you can see on the road map further down. This stretch of Little Soddy Creek in Tennessee is 1.6 miles long and has been rated as a class IV-V+ section by American Whitewater. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The wonderful Tennessee scenery and the beautiful way the water
    current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so better not forget that
the rivers in this state are less manageable. This stretch is short so no need to bring snacks. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling rivers. The river winds through the Cumberland Plateau Mountains and you get great scenery. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because  
these hotels fill up quick. There are so many stretches to paddle in this river system, the Hotwater Road to Back Valley Road stretch is just one of many.

Briefly about the general area:
Hineman Spring is a good local attraction, and Little Soddy Creek is near Harrison Bay State Park which is a lovely site. But wait, there's more entertaining things to do in the Cumberland Plateau Mountains. Iris Lovelady Spring is always fun to check out; when you're here it's always fun to explore Booker T. Washington State Park. This is a really good river. You'll meet a lot of folks from Soddy Daisy here, and do schedule some time to check out Clemmons Point if you have a chance.
