Description
Join us as the National Park Service joins forces with Tennessee Citizens for Wilderness Planning and East Tennessee Whitewater Club for a river-based cleanup at Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.
The stream section to be paddled will be determined based on river flow levels and other factors. Experienced whitewater paddlers are welcome to participate but must provide their own whitewater boat, personal floatation device, helmet and appropriate river attire. Paddlers should be proficient in Class III/IV whitewater.
Participants should bring sufficient food and water for a full day’s river trip. This event may be cancelled or modified based on weather conditions and river levels.
