Caption: Whitewater Addiction On Ocoee and Hiwassee River
Tennessee
Caption: In a previous #stellerstory I shared my first kayaking trip, and the beginning of my love for the sport. I knew I wanted more of a good thing, and I wanted more of an adrenaline rush experience on the water. That led me to stay at the Ocoee River, and take a two day whitewater training class on the Hiwassee River in Tennessee. Come take a look, and #seewhatisee #goexplore

Caption: I couldn't quit grinning after rolling my kayak, and going for my first swim. I was trying my best to catch an eddy, and do a peel-out. The water was super cold by the way.

Caption: Check out the paddle face! I'm headed down my first whitewater rapid! For some kayakers, a Class II rapid is nothing. For this kayaker, it was a ginormously big deal. So much fun!!

Ocoee River
Caption: One of the most exciting parts of my trip was getting the opportunity to watch my instructor play around in Hell Hole on the Ocoee River. Being a Class IV-V, I was just a spectator on the rocks watching the magic happen.
