Caney Fork

Be aware of possible vehicle damage at put-in. We paddled this stretch on 3/3/2007 and there were several ATVs driving back and forth across the river just upstream of the ledge at the put-in. About 1/2 mile downstream, we could hear the ATVs on the river left road and saw some debris that was kicked up by their tires land in the river. When we were later unloading my friend's truck that was parked on river left at the put-in, we noticed a few small bumps/dings on the side of his truck. Daylight on the next day revealed more damage to the body and windows. Our best guess is that the damage was caused by debris kicked up by ATVs and/or motorcycles that are frequently tearing up the earth at the put-in. I recommend finding another place to park.
