Tank Float

Middle Tennessee offers a peaceful and scenic paddling experience along the Duck River, from Normandy Dam to Huffman Bridge. This float trip combines gentle currents and light shoals with beautiful natural surroundings, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced paddlers. As you glide along the river, you will pass shaded woodlands, open farmland, and quiet stretches rich with wildlife, including herons, turtles, and occasionally river otters. The river’s serene atmosphere creates an ideal setting for relaxation and connection with nature, providing a memorable outdoor adventure just a short drive from town.

The trip typically takes around three hours, allowing paddlers to fully enjoy the calm waters and picturesque scenery. Easy access points along the river make launching and finishing convenient, while the remote, tranquil environment enhances the overall experience. Families can enjoy the float together, though children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult to ensure safety. This route remains one of the region’s best-kept paddling secrets, offering a rejuvenating escape into nature without the crowds.
