The public is invited to participate in a free, four-hour, kayak tour with a ranger on Friday, Aug. 31 at 9 a.m.
National Park Partners and the Friends of Outdoor Chattanooga will sponsor an event where 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. This is a kayak tour following the same route as the USsoldiers who opened the famous “Cracker Line” during the Civil War," officials said.
The following reservation and paddler requirements must be met prior to tour participation.
