The Exciting Sunset River Cruise

This year brings a brand-new experience to the Caney Fork River in the form of a sunset river cruise as Canoe the Caney introduces for the first time ever The Pirate’s Dinner and Sunset River Cruise!

Your evening begins with a Capt’n Jabeez dinner of hearty grub, served up by the galley crew.

Climb aboard our bus for a brief historic tour as you pass through the deserted ghost Town of Buffalo Valley. See the once large shipping port during the 19^th Century. Hear stories of how the steamboats and log rafts that made their way up and down the river. And no Caney Fork story is complete without the pirates that were once at large! You’ll then board your canoe and enjoy one of the most scenic stretches of river in Tennessee. As evening arrives, scan the treetops for the magnificent birds of prey: eagles, hawks and owls. Listen to the sounds of evening as the rainbow trout leap and twist, splashing into the cool water. Watch as the playful river otters glide in front, or alongside your canoe. Enjoy the beautiful sunset as colors of pink, orange and purple paint the sky.

What to Expect

The Pirate Dinner and Sunset River Cruise starts at our Canoe the Caney store location where we have prepared a fantastic meal for you. Once the dinner is over we provide all the transportation to and from the river. Make sure to have comfortable and warm clothes that you don’t mind if they get a little wet. With all the gorgeous views we recommend having a waterproof bag for your phone or camera so you can take plenty of pictures without worrying about damaging your device. While you may have just eaten, we always recommend at least 1 bottle of water or other drink per person to make sure you are plenty hydrated for your trip.
