Just south of Chattanooga is one of our best-kept flat water secrets: the West Fork of the Chickamauga. What Makes it GreatThe historic Lee and Gordon's Mill in the city of Chickamauga offers diverse paddling experiences ranging from a quick trip upstream and back, to downstream explorations that will require a shuttle. Upstream of the Mill's dam, the water is pooled and the current slight. Launch from the grassy area near the gazebo and go as far as you like, then paddle back down. The scenery is pleasant although there can be some noise from an industrial plant nearby. The water is deep
