The Powell River is the 2nd largest free-flowing (un-dammed) river in Tennessee. As such, its flow is dependent on upstream conditions in its 1,000 square mile watershed. Right now, we have about 1,000 cubic feet per second (CFS) of flow which is ideal for the Powell River Kayak & Canoe Regatta on April 27th. With some rain in the forecast over the next ten days, it looks like that good flow should be maintained.
The nine Race categories will be sequenced and will start at 9:00 am on Race Day. $35 to enter as a single kayak; $55 for a double kayak or canoe. Prize money and free-tee-shirts offered.
