National Park Partners and the Friends of Outdoor Chattanooga will sponsor a free four hour kayak tour with a ranger on Friday, June 29, at 9 a.m. The kayak tour follows the same route as the U.S. soldiers who opened the famous “Cracker Line” during the Civil War.
Visitors will paddle down the Tennessee River, around the tip of Moccasin Bend, while learning about the much needed supply line to help lift the Confederate siege of Chattanooga.
The following reservation and paddler requirements must be met prior to tour participation.
