For The Most Amazing Kayak Trips Nashville Is The Place To Be

By Christa Jarvis


Kayaking has become one of the most popular water sports - both as a competitive extreme outdoor adventure sport for pro's and a recreational sport for the man on the street. Paddling along a tranquil river while watching how the sun rises or sets, is potent food for the soul. The array of rivers in and around Nashville makes this area one of the best kayaking destinations in the world. For the best Kayak trips Nashville has it all!

The rivers in Middle Tennessee abound with wildlife and snake through the most exquisite natural environments. Don your binoculars and fishing rod and set off to any of a number of rivers for a peaceful paddle in the sun. There are plenty of pools and calm rivers for fun-filled family outings, while extreme outdoor adventurists can take their pick from several adrenaline-boosting white-water rafting trips. There is literally a river for every reason and ride.

Nashville has been acclaimed as one of the best river towns in America. It is thus small wonder that recreational kayaking has become one of the most popular water sports in the area. It is a great form of outdoor exercise and allows one to socialize in breathtaking locations. There is no better way to enjoy the abundant wildlife and scenic beauty of this region than from the vantage point of a boat or kayak.

Another option for people who want to enjoy the natural beauty of the environment is guided excursions and day trips, that include paddling instruction by American Canoe Association certified guides. These guided group trips also include canoe or kayak rental, all the necessary equipment as well as a convenient shuttle service back to your vehicle. Customized trips for up to 20 people can be arranged.

Guided group excursions and day trips can be arranged for groups of up to twenty people. It is a very popular outing for church or school groups, businesses and families who want to have some outdoor fun in the sun. These trips include paddling instruction by certified guides, kayak rental and a convenient shuttle service. All equipment is included and trips are customized according to everyone's specific needs.

A Cherokee rafting trip and a four mile round trip excursion from Cave Hollow to the base of the impressive 130 foot Burgess Falls are some of the exciting trips one can embark upon. Big South Fork National River is another paradise for those who love wet and wild adventure travel, while the Class 11 rapids Duck River Blueway beckons the brave to rise to the challenge.

The 125 mile Harpeth River offers some of the most beautiful sightseeing trips. The best way to appreciate the true majesty of the cliffs is by looking up to them from a boat or kayak. The river and shores teem with wildlife such as waterfowl, fish, Great blue heron, whitetail deer and king fisher and one should have binoculars, cameras and fishing rods at hand.

With so many choices, it is almost impossible to make a decision without some guidance. The book Paddling Around Nashville by Patty Schultz is therefore a very handy guideline for those seeking the best kayaking routes. The book contains detailed descriptions of every river and creek in Middle Tennessee, as well as launch points and other useful information. For serious kayaking enthusiasts, this book is a must read.
