Ruins of Old Harrison - A Tour by Kayak
Advertisement
Explore the hidden history of Old Harrison on this guided kayak tour. Once a thriving riverside community, the town was submerged in 1940 with the creation of Chickamauga Dam. Today, its remnants reappear at winter pool lake levels.
Paddlers will kayak over and alongside old building foundations, roads, and guardrails—structures frozen in time beneath the water’s surface. This fully equipped, guided experience offers a unique opportunity to view a rarely seen piece of local history while learning about the people and events that shaped the area. As a bonus, you may even catch a glimpse of the American white pelican, which has found vacationing in the National Park City a great place to winter.
No prior paddling experience is required. Come enjoy a peaceful paddle and a fascinating journey into the past.

This winter kayak tour is appropriate for ages 14+ when accompanied by an adult. Some prior kayaking/paddling experience is helpful but not required to participate in this tour. Guides will offer basic paddling, water safety instruction and provide on water support throughout the duration of the tour, which lasts approximately 2.5 hours. Reservations and payment are required in advance as space is limited.
