History Center and Outdoor Chattanooga Present A Sunset Kayak History Tour through the Gorge

  • Monday, July 20, 2015

The Chattanooga History Center will partner with Outdoor Chattanooga to offer two
special sunset kayak tours through the Tennessee River Gorge on August 11 and August 25, 2015
beginning at 7:00 PM. The kayak tour will be led by experienced Outdoor Chattanooga river guides.

The CHC’s Senior Educator, Caroline Sunderland, will narrate the city’s history with the gorge.
Join us for a leisurely, guided kayak trip through one of the most scenic and historic sections of the
Tennessee River Gorge. We'll spend a couple of hours enjoying the evening breezes and spectacular scenery and listening to stories of historic journeys on the river that runs through our city and through our city’s history.

Registered participants should meet at the Raccoon Mountain boat launch. Shuttle service back to the Raccoon Mountain boat ramp will be provided. Cost for the tours is $45 per adult and $35 for kids ages 14-18. All kayaking equipment and guides are included. Space is limited. Pre-paid reservations are required and must be made by August 10 for the first tour and August 24 for the second. To make a reservation, call Outdoor Chattanooga at 423-643-6888.
