Trip Report

I'm one of the 'upper Midwest paddlers' who ran the Piney in the 70's, with Fred Young, Mark Hall, and Jackson Wright. This was one of our favorite rivers when we came to Tennessee on our college holidays. I especially loved the drive to the put-in, being a flatlander. We could see the valley far below, and knew we were going to descend there from the top of the plateau! The Piney is a beautiful Class IV river, a classic and top 10 in the country, in my now more well-traveled opinion.
