Do you love backpacking downhill, along a river, crossing the river often, and going for a swim at camp?

We will be hiking mostly downhill as we follow Jack’s River, crossing the river approximately 42 times over 16 miles. This is a 3 day trip, our first day is about a 3.5 hour drive in the morning followed by about an hour and a half shuttle provided by a third party company, followed by as many miles as the group wants.

The Second day we will hike to Jack’s River Falls where we will stop to play in the river and have lunch before hiking on downstream.

Our third day will be a pleasant 3-5 mile hike back to our cars, followed by lunch in Chattanooga.

Dress in clothes that dry relatively quickly, as well as WEAR SHOES THAT ARE RIVER CROSSING WORTHY! We will be crossing the river so often that we will not want to stop to allow you to take off your leather boots for every crossing, nor do you want leather boots or heavy boots to be saturated with water… it is not very comfortable. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO USE TREKKING POLES for the river crossing and pack your sleeping bag/clothes in a form of dry sack.

You will need to supply your own breakfast (2 days), lunch (2 days), dinner (2 days), and snacks, water is plentiful along the trail. Participants are also encouraged to bring extra socks and shoes to be worn in camp.
