Our Trips

Popular Weekend River Float

The Stonewall Boat Ramp River trip takes you from Happy Hollow downriver to the old historic Stonewall Bridge. This bridge was built in 1901 and famous for its unique 90-degree turn. This stretch of water serves up a whole lot of nature in a little bit of time. Float under magnificent treetops and over colorful brown and rainbow trout. This rustic river adventure takes you between towering rock bluffs and wide-open green pastures of farmland.

Paddling under the old 1800s train bridge filmed in the movie The Green Mile, starring Tom Hanks, gives this stretch of water its own star quality. And from there, it’s likely you’ll see bald eagles nesting near Goat Mountain. Statuesque great blue herons leads you down river as they play cat and mouse, stopping alongside the edge of the river to give you just enough time to spot them and catch up. Keep you eyes peeled, because high up along the bluff you’ll spot the Yuchi Caverns as well as lost mines tucked in tight. Further downstream of Betty’s Island you’ll see old Sebowisha Plantation, the former home site of Tennessee Central Railroad Tycoon, Jere Baxter.

What to Expect

The Stonewall Sebowisha float is a 9 mile float that takes place on weekends during the peek summer times. This section of the river usually takes around 4 hours to complete. All paddlers are recommended to bring a snack and at least 1 drink per person. Some areas have less shade so hats or sunscreen are highly recommended. You will pass by the old train bridge and the interstate pylons during your paddle. Be sure to stay aware and maintain distance from these pillars as they can trap or even flip your boat. As long as you pass through the middle you won’t have any issues though!
