Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Tennessee is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many runs in this state are not easy. The beautiful scenery of Tennessee and the water flowing gracefully down Mammys Creek make the trip here worthwhile. The starting location is a short drive from Crossville, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. You can pitch a tent |
or park your RV at a nearby campground. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that around here. There are a few other sections in this river system that can
| be paddled as well. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so pack your camp stove. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Whitewater paddling here in the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is a great experience. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people.

area: While you're here at Mammys Creek you can take a hike along the Fooshee Pass Trail, and if you fancy a little side tour, try Chickenhouse Hollow. All the outdoors cool things in the Cumberland Plateau Mountains
will keep you coming back time and again. Cumberland Mountain State Park is a magnificent site to stretch your legs a bit, and a short trip to Ozone Falls is always worthwhile. This river is always fun. Negro Jumpoff is
