Your adventure begins as you set out on a leisurely paddle along the tranquil waters of the Hatchie at Highway 76 near Brownsville, TN. Surrounded by hidden cypress tree swamps and serene greenery, you'll feel a sense of awe and wonder at every turn. Keep your eyes peeled for sightings of majestic great blue herons, elusive green herons, graceful white egrets, and if luck is on our side, the occasional bald eagle soaring overhead.
Led by our knowledgeable volunteer tour guides and American Canoe Assocition (ACA) Tennessee State Director ANDe Demetriou, you'll delve into the rich history and ecological significance of the Hatchie River. Through interactive and engaging narratives, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how this remarkable waterway has remained untouched by human intervention, preserving its natural beauty for generations to come. The Executive Director for the Hatchie River Conservancy, Bob Ford, and members of the board of directors will be on hand for a meet-and-greet during this tour.
As you navigate the slow current of the river, take advantage of opportunities to park your kayak on sandbars and rest, allowing you to soak in the tranquil ambiance of your surroundings. Safety is paramount on our tour, and guests are provided with life jackets to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience on the water.
