Canoe the Caney
17055 Smithville HwyGreat way to see the Candy Fork River below the Center Hill Dam.
This one is on my list to do because views posted are outstanding! There are several water crossings so not good for kids especially in wet season. Very near to Burgess Falls so you may work both in for a full day. Be sure to get local advice on conditions.
