3 Days on the Duck River TN

We.spent 3 days on the Duck River, lazily covering about 28 miles. The weather was perfect and the chance to be out in nature was a welcomed reset. Lost some footage due to some camera issues, but it was a good learning experience for next time. Enjoy!

I fish around there all the time. Nice video !!

Nice! It's a beautiful river. We lost footage from the Elk river earlier this year. You should check that one out sometime if you haven't already. Always folks fishing when we go.

Me and my yackin buddy are just getting into the sport and are going to Gatlinburg next weekend any entry level spots you recommend? Love your channel btw!!!

Thanks Nathan! Hoping to get some new content up soon. I’ve got so much new gear that hasn’t seen any action yet. So I haven’t done any of the waterways around Gatlinburg. Was hoping to get a couple of River trips in last year and possibly check out what East TN had to offer on that front, but obviously things didn’t work out. I will say that one of the major rivers I have been looking at is the French Broad River. Supposedly camping along the River at certain spots and a variety of access points. Haven’t seen it with my own eyes, but I think it would be a good choice.

I want to float the entire river in a summer. From Bedford county and have floated it close to home for 12+ years. Nice setups. Quarters get tighter down this way and thick

That would be amazing! I’ve been pushing the group to do more mileage on these trips. And yeah, they always complain about the camping on river trips.

Hey my sister and I do a three day canoe trip every earth day weekend we've done 80 miles so far.

We also put in at Milltown this year.

[@tennesseetrekker1951]

Nice! We're going to the Elk River next weekend. Only doing about 44 miles and hoping the weather holds out for us.

What section is this on? Put in and take out?

[@tennesseetrekker1951]

We put in at Milltown and took out at Leftwich Bridge on this particular trip. This PDF is fairly helpful in giving you options for the Duck. Hoping to do a different, much longer section of this soon. www.duckriverwatershed.org/Access_files/Duck%20River%20Access%20Points.pdf

I hope soon I’ll be doing this same thing. No one would shoot me I don’t think, considering the water is navigable and un-ownable
