Chattanooga Paddling
I would suggest you call Rock Creek Downunder (423-265-1836) they sell Paddling equipment and could give you some advice.



Thanks,

Not much “river” left in the TN River
The TN River near Chattanooga has been transformed forever for better or worse into a series of lakes. Chickamauga Lake extends well eastward and northeast of Chattanooga, and northeast of that is Watts Bar Lake. To the west of Chattanooga is Nickajack Lake.



That’s not to say you can’t paddle on them, but it will be a lake experience, not a river trip, and you will be sharing them with a lot of motor traffic and fishermen.



Rock Creek Outfitters can probably give you some advice.
