Tennessee whitewater, North Chickamauga Creek

Hamilton county, Bowater Parking Area to Highway 27 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     2 miles
  If you're coming from Chattanooga it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, as you can see on the road map further down. The scenic beauty of Hamilton County and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The river winds through the Cumberland Plateau Mountains and you get great scenery. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. Since
    you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good rivers. There are plenty of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as
well. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This section is quite short so no need to bring snacks. The average Tennessee whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. The Bowater Parking Area to Highway 27 section of North Chickamauga Creek in Tennessee is 2 miles long and is according  
to American Whitewater a class III-IV section of whitewater. 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.

Briefly about the general area:
Harrison Bay State Park is a good place to stretch your legs a bit It's always great to check out Cave Springs. There's no way someone can get bored here in the Cumberland Plateau Mountains. North Chickamauga Creek is in the neighborhood of Booker T. Washington State Park which is a charming site. Don't leave North Chickamauga Creek without first checking out Flipper Bend.
