Float trip locations
i know this question has been asked before but wheres a good place to kayak or canoe? Looking for some semi-rough waters no raging rapids but some falls and a fast pace flow would be fun. Floated the okatoma down near hattiesburg and had a blast.

Re: Float trip locations
Okatoma and Bogue Chitto are pretty good as far as being in state, just depends on water levels.
Gotta go at the right time.

take it up a notch and go on your own on the Hiwassee----www.hiwasseeoutfitters.com (Reliance TN)and then a guided raft trip on the ocoee (ocoee TN) multiple guide choices- take your pole and catch some rainbows on the Hiwassee---very good time

We used to do Bear Creek in Alabama when we were in high school. We would use the sit-on top kayaks they had. There was a small waterfall where we would put in.
Re: Float trip locations
in state, black creek is supposed to be a little swifter than the okatoma or bogue chitto.

Agreed
Buffalo River in Lobelville/Linden, TN is ok too, but no rapids nor is it very fast. A good drinking river though.

Started out fun, then I sunk my canoe and lost all my beverages!! It was a big step up from the Okatoma. It would be better if you floated it with a kayak. Place was awesome, and the camp grounds were fun!
