This stretch of North Chickamauga Creek in Hamilton County is 4 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The natural beauty of Hamilton County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Tennessee are often more challenging than in other states, so keep |
in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Chattanooga, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The nearby hotels are a bit away from
| the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the Double Bridge to put-in for gorge run section is just one of many. This is a pretty decent | |
|
length section, good for a one day paddling trip. The wild scenery of the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is great.
Briefly about the general area: Chicken Hollow is close to North Chickamauga Creek and is positively
a nice place to explore, and while you're here you can take a hike along the Hardy Trail. So many amusing things to do in the Cumberland Plateau Mountains, not sufficient time. The fine folks of Signal Mountain like to hang
out nearby, and going for a hike along the Skyuka Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this area. This river has so much to offer.
