Kayaking

KAYAKING ON A MOUNTAIN RIVER IS EXHILIRATING AND A GOOD ESCAPE FROM EVERYDAY STRESS

Kayaking in the Smoky Mountains takes you down cool mountain rivers and through beautiful scenery. Breathe in the fresh mountain air. You can let the water gently lead you downstream or you can paddle harder to go at a faster pace. It is a good experience for persons with disabilities as well.

Bring your own kayak or purcase one at an area outfitter. There are also places where you can rent a kayak.

Outfitters:
• GSM Outfitters

Kayak Rentals / Guided Trips:
• Rapid Expeditions
• Smoky Mountain Outdoors

Along your river adventure, you might see wildlife -- bear, wild turkey, fox, and more. You might want to relax for a while and fish for Smoky Mountain trout from your kayak.
