Try the unique guided experience of a beginner-friendly kayak tour that paddles into the top of the 80-year-old lock at Chickamauga Dam and out the bottom 50 feet below after 1 million cubic feet of water is released from under your kayak into the lower river.  

Chattanooga Guided Adventures will pick you up and transport you upstream for a 5 mile kayak adventure through downtown Chattanooga. During your adventure your guide will discuss Chattanooga's history along the river and how Chattanooga has undergone a tremendous change from the 1969 dirtiest city in the country due to air pollution to Outside Magazine's two time Champion of the "Best Outdoor Towns to Live". We will also spot cool aquatic wildlife such as Osprey, River Otters, Double Crested Cormorants and more, while learning ecological facts. Your tour will conclude with a complementary micro-brew or drink from Cherry Street Brewing.
