  • Tellico Dam Loudon TN (map)

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.
