Paddle Days

Summer is here and one of the best ways to experience this season is on the water. Paddle your way through the lakes, rivers and wetlands of the Great Smoky Mountains Foothills during your stay at Blackberry Farm. As you glide along the water’s surface, take in the beautiful scenery and wildlife that surrounds you. Whether you embark on a leisurely ride or push your pace, grab a paddle and get ready for your next adventure.

Canoe. The relaxed pace of canoeing provides the perfect opportunity to slow down and take in the natural wonder around you. Experience the simplicity and joy of canoe life alone or with great company, and explore the waterways while you soak up the sun.

Kayak. Kayaking is the perfect opportunity to kick your water exploration up a notch. Surrounded by incredible mountain views, bounce over fun, flowing rapids or settle into a smooth paddle groove over still water. Kayaking is a more individual experience, allowing you the opportunity to connect with your body and the nature around you.

Paddleboard. Work your balance and engage your body on a standup paddleboard. One of our favorite ways to explore the water, paddleboarding work can range from balancing through smooth, slow paddles over still water to trying out a yoga pose on your board. Don’t worry if you fall in, that’s half the fun!

How are you getting out on the water this Summer?
