Trip Report

ReporterTravis Proffitt

Quite possibly one of the best river runs in the south! If you've never checked out this totally awesome river you definitely should! Lots of fun, pillowy water that can treat you well if you give it the respect it deserves. When you get to Hartford, don't get out! There's some fun ledges below the traditional take out that can be a lot of fun to play on. Oh yeah, and Maytag near the lower run's takeout! Pretty fun rapid with a pretty munchy hole! This river has improved tons in recent years about people should support an environmental victory! If you're ever in East Tennesee you have to get on this river and try it out! Happy paddling!
