Celebrate Loudon Riverfest with a scenic paddle on the Tennessee River! On Saturday, August 16, 2025, join fellow paddlers for a guided float from below Tellico Dam to downtown Loudon. Launch begins at 10:00 AM with transportation provided back to the start for all participants. Expect a relaxed pace and smooth current as you journey through one of East Tennessee’s most picturesque stretches of the 652-mile Tennessee RiverLine.
Bring your own kayak or canoe to paddle for free—or rent one for just $10 (limited availability). Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or new to the river, this event offers a welcoming way to connect with nature, enjoy community, and experience part of our shared 1.2-million-acre river park.
