ACE KAYAKING SCHOOL, KNOXVILLE

We guide and instruct on the Obed Wild and Scenic River and the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.  If you like the idea of sharpening your skills in the most beautiful settings in Tennessee, or are even just interested in getting a guided tour of some of the most spectacular canyon country around, from day trips to multi-day experiences, we can make your plateau dreams come alive!  For folks looking for a lower key option, we also teach and guide on the Pigeon River, conveniently located 50 minutes east of Knoxville just off I-40, or the Hiwassee and Ocoee Rivers an hour and a half to the south.  

 

We offer a range of services, and can adapt any trip to meet specific goals and needs, but check out a few options below to get an idea of where to start!
