Description

Join us on Saturday, April 11, as the National Park Service joins forces with TCWP 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 whitewater.

 

Meetup time and location will be announced as soon as it becomes available; please check the TCWP website and/or Facebook page. 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.
