The put-in location is a short drive from Sevierville, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. The wonderful Sevier County scenery and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. This section is quite short so you'd |
better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The wild scenery
| of the Great Smoky Mountains is great. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. The campgrounds here at Walker Camp Prong are pretty good. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of spots for that. The Bridge below Alum Cave Creek confluence to Chimney's Trailhead section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. The average Tennessee | |
|
whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable.
Briefly about the general area:
People from Gatlinburg love to come to Walker Camp Prong, and Rainbow Falls is a good local attraction. And if that's not sufficient there's a heap more fun things to do in the Great Smoky Mountains. Going for a hike on
the Cove Mountain Trail is always a fine adventure, and Ober Gatlinburg is a very popular ski area close at hand. This river is so good. There is a magnificent hiking trail right next door to Walker Camp Prong called the Sugarland Mountain Trail, and Bearpen Hollow is another tremendous place to stop at nearby.
