The Tennesse Blueway-Nickajack Lake Our final day on the Tennessee brought us to the largest part of Nickajack Lake. I learned something new and that was that actually the whole area we paddled is both the Tennessee River and Nickajack Lake. Anyway, the day began with a good breakfast andContinue Reading
The Tennessee Blueway-The Wildlife We normally don’t see a lot of wildlife on our trips, but this trip was entirely different from the outset! We saw a heron as we left the dock at Greenway Farm and must have seen hundreds more over the 3 days! Despite the fact thatContinue Reading
The Tennessee Blueway-The Longest Day I have already told a couple of stories from our second day because it was VERY long! Don’t get me wrong! We had a great day, but it felt like 2 days in one and a lot happened! We had a few issues we hadContinue Reading

Now, I named him BOB because he keptContinue Reading
Tennessee Blueway-The City of Chattanooga I have been to Chattanooga many times, but seeing the bluffs above the city, McClellan Island, the Aquarium and the rest of the city from a canoe was an entirely different experience! We paddled right up to the bluff and touched it and thenContinue Reading
The Tennessee Blueway-The beginning After almost a month of planning, the day finally arrived, June 30, 2016. Our friend April Coomer drove us to Chattanooga on Thursday night where we had a last meal at PF Chang’s, a goodnights sleep in an actual bed, and a final shower beforeContinue Reading
