About this event
Paddle to the Base of Burgess Falls • Meet at 7:45 AM sharp! • Launch: 9:30 AM
Escape the summer heat and join the Nashville Ski Club for an unforgettable kayaking adventure up the creek! Burgess Falls is widely considered one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the state of Tennessee—and paddling in from the lake is the only way to experience these massive, roaring falls from the very bottom.
The Game Plan
This is a BYOK (Bring Your Own Kayak/Canoe/Paddleboard) event.
- The Caravan: We will meet morning-of at the Cracker Barrel in Mt. Juliet (Exit 226A off I-40) at 7:45 AM. We are leaving at 8:00 AM SHARP to head to the launch site.
- The Paddle: We will launch from the Cane Hollow Recreational Area at 9:30 AM. From there, we’ll take a scenic, 4-mile paddle up Cane Creek directly to the misty base of Burgess Falls.
- The Break: Once we arrive at the falls, we will park the boats, swim, relax, and take a well-deserved lunch break before making the 4-mile return paddle.
What to Bring
- Your own kayak/paddleboard, paddle, and required PFD (Life Jacket)
- A packed lunch or snacks, plus plenty of water/drinks
- Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a dry bag for electronics
