  • We begin the journey down the Tennessee River from the "source" down to Fort Loudoun Dam.
    We go through downtown Knoxville and see the views from the water as we paddle... Ijams, Calhoun's, Neyland Stadium, Thompson-Boling Arena and more!
    We will hammock camp on the river along the way and do a bit of fishing as time allows.

      That's right, by Boyd Island.
      It's just above the Forks so I paddle through the actual beginning of the Tennessee.

      You'll love it! Winter drawdown makes this trip much easier. Plus- no bugs!

    12:35…fell off this bridge playing lost boys one night. Alcohol may have been involved.

    How feasible is it to kayak to Calhouns, for lunch?
    Is there anyplace to get out, safely leave your kayak to eat lunch & get back on the water?

      Calhoun's downtown might be a challenge, but Calhoun's in Lenoir City would be pretty easy.
      I've brought a bicycle chain on trips when I know I'm going to want to leave my yak unattended.

    It is pronounced "Iams". The "j" is silent.

      Thank you!!!
      Come to think of it I've never heard it pronounced out loud.
      Being a Tennessee transplant from Michigan I still have a lot to learn. If you see anything else that would help me please let me know!

      I put in at Holston River Park by Boyd Island. There's a public launch there, good current pushing.
