Clinch River Paddle

Let's do a river paddle on the Clinch. This will be just under 4 miles on the water.
(Lost Bottom Park to Melton Lake Park)

We will Put-In at Lost Bottom Park off of Ridgeview Dr, Clinton, TN 37716.
The Take-Out will be Melton Lake off of Melton Lake Dr, OakRidge, TN
(It's at least a 15-minute drive between these locations.)

*Important: Make arrangements with someone in the group to get yourself shuttled between the PUT-IN and the TAKE-OUT or the TAKE-OUT and the PUT-IN. Please volunteer to help shuttle.

Norris Dam should be running 1 generator between 10am and 2pm.
Then running 2 generators from 1pm to 6pm.

Obviously, it takes time for the flow to get down river. But this area of the river will require paddling on our part because of its distance from the Dam and the flow of the water.

** Important:
Have all the safety items required. You are responsible for your own safety. You will need to wear your life vest.
