Spend time paddling down the Clinch River. View a variety of aquatic life from longnose gar to fresh water mussels. Watch Great Blue Herons fly by, and turtles sunning themselves on logs and rocks. If you are lucky, you may see old abandoned railcars. No experience is needed. Paddling is required and guests may get wet. This section of water is designated less than a class I rapid.
Kayak trips are subject to cancellation due to poor river conditions, including the river levels being too high or too low for a safe kayak trip. In the event of cancellation, guests will be notified at least one hour before the scheduled program time.
