Sequatchie River Paddle




Met Pete and Sue, John, MaryKay and Dakota Saturday in Dunlap to paddle six miles on the Sequatchie River. It was hot, probably in the mid 90's and the river and being close to it was sounding like a good way to spend the hottest part of the day.
My kayak was my choice of transport - love the maneuverability and my independence.
The Sequatchie is comparable to the rivers in middle Tennessee that I've kayaked this year. One point of interest is the fish trap where a narrow chute was made originally by the native Americans to funnel fish into a net. Its just wide enough for a kayak or canoe and gives a bit of a thrill on an otherwise placid river.
