Chickamauga Dam Lock Through Kayak Tour With Chattanooga Guided Adventures

Mar. 16 to Nov. 10 | 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM | Chattanooga Guided Adventures

Try the unique guided experience of locking through Chickamauga Dam from the seat of a kayak. You will paddle into the 120 ft tall lock and the massive gates will close behind you. Your guide will connect the boats to a moving anchor at the side of the lock to secure all of the passengers on the trip. The lockmaster slowly empties the water in the lock from Chickamauga Lake into the Tennessee River below the dam. As the water empties the lock, you slowly descend into the depth of the lock to match the river level below the dam. The massive doors in front of you open and your guide will lead you into the river where the paddling adventure continues on the Tennessee River with the gentle current helping you downriver. This is a truly unique Chattanooga kayaking experience.

Ages 7 and up can ride in a tandem kayak with an adult.
Single kayaks for ages 9 and up
Three two person kayaks available.
