We need your pictures, and articles, you don't need to know HTML or other computer skills, submit your articles via email and we will post it here! As long as you know how to e-mail we can handle the rest..

Our goal is to get information out as easily as possible

River Description
Mammy's is a small tributary of White's Creek outside Spring City, Tennessee. It was first run by the old Harriman Dagger gang, Mike "Louie" Lewis was the first to run Basin Creek Falls, and it was blind due to lack of eddys and too many boats in an eddy.

***Warning label***

Whitewater paddling is VERY Dangerous, and you should get instruction before ever attempting even to paddle flatwater. One of contributors to this web site has personally helped bury 3 kayaking friends, this isn't a joke. Whitewater paddling can ruin your life through accidents and can effect your family and friends throughout a lifetime.

The information on this page is incomplete, inaccurate, and very unreliable. Use with caution. Whitewater paddling is a dangerous sport and the information here is not a substitute for actual knowledge and skill. The authors are not liable for your actions. Go ahead and kill yourself if you want to, but don't blame others for you actions and decisions that you will make on and off the river.

***Warning label***

Our hemlocks are dying on the ridge due to the woolly adelgid infestation. You can find out more at the Save Our Hemlocks website: http://www.saveourhemlocks.org/
