Visit the Blueway

The Hiwassee River Blueway offers 55 miles of river adventure in Southeast Tennessee, extending from Appalachia Dam near the border of North Carolina to the Tennessee River. The upper section of the river flows through the Cherokee National Forest and is designated a State Scenic River. On any given day, you’ll see paddlers, fishermen, motorboats and snorkelers enjoying this diverse river, which serves as the lifeblood for much of the region’s wildlife, agriculture and industry.
