If you live in the middle Tennessee area, you should try spending a day canoeing or kayaking along the Caney Fork River. It's beauty, close proximity to I-40 and multiple access sites make it an ideal outing for family and friends. It's also a good trout fishing destination.
We went using a private, informal rental service which was MUCH cheaper than the service available on the river, but I'm not at liberty to divulge my source. We put in at Happy Hollow Access Area, which is just one mile south from Exit 268 at Buffalo Valley (about a 45 minute drive from Nashville), and pulled out at Stonewall Bridge. About a nine mile run, except that we took a wrong turn and it took us about a mile or so before we realized it.
There's a great song called Caney Fork River by Wolfman Jack and the Midnight Ramblers. Available on iTunes. Worth checking out.
Reply to Comment 1: You're thinking of the Cahulawassee River. Which is in Georgia. Caney Fork is more fiddle than banjo, imo.
Did you hear banjos?
ReplyDeleteWho's peeing in the middle of the river?
