Paine Creek

Paine Creek in the Spring

River Description

Paine is a very small tributary of Richland Creek outside Dayton, Tennessee. The put-in can be a little tricky, but is not that hard, with a topo map. The put-in is on the way for the put-in for Piney River outside Spring City, Tennessee. We took Liberty Hill Road, (the locals call it Insurance Bluff Road). Once you are on top the mountain, slow down, there will be a side dirt road on the left, coming from Dayton. Take it, drive down the road or walk. After 1/4" mile(?) if you haven't come to a big ditch, you took the wrong road.

Here is a picture of the put-in from Liberty Hill Road.

I love the tires beside the "no dumping sign"

The run is your typical ditch run, but it can be a lot of fun and is better than sitting on the couch. The quality of the run degrades at the end when you are nearing Richland. From there is a hike fest, but you are so close to the car, it's not epic. With the Southern Pine Bug eating killing large stands of pines on the mountain, I would be very paranoid about down wood. The stream is very small, and fast so boater beware.

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.
