This kayak tour on Lookout Creek and the Tennessee River is rich in history.  National Park Partners historians have partnered with Outdoor Chattanooga to provide this unique opportunity for recreation and immersive learning.

In the early morning hours of October 27, 1863, fifteen hundred Union soldiers boarded boats in Chattanooga and floated down the Tennessee River to conduct a successful amphibious assault at historic Browns Ferry. This program emulates the action at Browns Ferry and the Opening of the Cracker Line as we paddle in kayaks down the Tennessee River and land at historic Brown’s Ferry. The paddle is four miles in length and will take approximately three hours.  Kayaks, PFDs, paddles, guides and transportation back to your vehicle all will be provided by Outdoor Chattanooga.  The program also includes a visit to Browns Tavern, the oldest building in Hamilton County, prior to the paddle.

Appropriate for ages 16 and up.  Some kayak experience is helpful but not required.  Pre-registration is required.  Cost:  $35 per person. Space is limited.

As a reminder registration opens 2 weeks before the event and closes two days before!
