day on the river is as relaxing or as thrilling an adventure as you want to make it. It’s a place to make memories with family, friends Aand fellow travelers, to escape the trials of the daily grind and lend you a fresh perspective on life.

If you want to venture off the beaten path and to connect with nature, the beautiful rivers of the Upper Cumberland hold something for everyone, from gentle paddles through lush countryside to whitewater kayaking for all skill levels.

If you are an angler, the broad slow rivers and peaceful lakes yield an abundance of fish, from bass to trout, bluegill to catfish, and some of the best sauger fishing you are likely to find in Tennessee.

Caney Fork River A bald eagle silently soars above, hunting for breakfast. Fish ripple the water in search of tasty insects. The water is placid and glassy, ideal for a morning paddle, but it can move surprisingly fast when Center Hill Dam releases water. This is the Caney Fork, known for its beauty and peaceful demeanor, and a favorite for canoe and kayak enthusiasts and anglers alike.
