• Unlucky with the lock

  We were unlucky today and the lock was too busy to accommodate our tour. Which led to us paddling around the lake for 1.5 hours. If I would have known that the tour was subject to lock traffic, we probably wouldn’t have booked. I feel like there should be an option to cancel if the lock is busy, which they knew about upon our arrival. We did see a bald eagle, but we could have rented our own kayaks for much less $$. Tour guide was very nice and everything was well run, but just be advised you could end up with a pretty $$ and boring paddle.

  Great way to experience Chattanooga and the Tennessee River which is integral to this region. Our guide Zach supplied everything including Kayaking lessons for beginners. All equipment and kayaks are high end. Great group activity to make memories. Outdoor activity so it can be weather dependent. The trip duration is perfect as it last 1.5-2 hrs. Zach teaches about the history of the region, the dam and lock system and also general knowledge of Chattanooga. He also points out wildlife along the way. A must do adventure in Chattanooga whether you are local or visiting.

  Great experience with Russ as our guide. Would recommend to anyone interested in getting on the river to see eagles, ospreys and herons, as well as learn about the history of the dam and the TVA.

  It was a unique experience getting to be in the dam when they let the water out. Very interesting experience learning how the dam worked.

  Our guide Russ was a fantastic, considerate, knowledgeable, and engaging leader and tour guide. I have kayaked many times before, but our international exchange student had not. Her English is quite decent, but still limited. Russ explained everything clearly and made sure she understood, for her enjoyment as much as for her safety. Going through the dam lock was exciting and surprising – we couldn't believe how quiet it was for something so enormous involving so much water! We had the benefit of a gorgeous day, too.

  Great time out on the river. Very cool experience going through the Dam Lock and seeing all of the construction for the new Lock. Zach was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Would definitely go again and would recommend.
