Tennessee whitewater, Rocky River Warren Van Buren county, to Caney Fork section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.     The wonderful Warren Van Buren County scenery and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The wild scenery of the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is great. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Some people prefer whitewater     rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that around here. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. The starting location is a reasonable drive from McMinnville, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. On this section you do get some distance, good for a one day paddling trip. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not   suitable for beginners.
