The Caney Fork River

Home The Caney Fork River

The Caney Fork River is definitely one of Middle Tennessee’s natural treasures! The section of the river we operate is a beautiful, relaxing, scenic river.

Running approximately 144miles (232 km), the Caney Fork river rises in Cumberland County about six miles northwest of Crossville and flows northwest to the Cumberland River. It eventually comes together with the Collins River and the Rocky River at Great Falls Lake. This reservoir is created by the Great Falls Dam.

The water being released into the river from the Center Hill Lake reservoir at Center Hill Dam, the part of the Caney Fork where we offer canoe rentals, ensures that the river is constant, meaning it’s year-round accessible and is always cool, clear, and inviting. This creates a perfect spot for canoeing, kayaking, or trout fishing, which is especially helpful since the river is stocked every year with 100,000 Rainbow and Brown Trout! The Center Hill Dam generation schedule is posted daily, so you can keep track of the current water conditions and elevations for the river.
