Closing For The Season
Unfortunately, SMK will be closed for the rest of the 2011 season. We will re-open upon TonyB's return to the United States. Sorry for any inconveniences. Check the website for kayaking news and updates from TonyB while he is away in Afghanistan.
Where is TonyB?
Hello from Afghanistan! For those new to the website, TonyB, the owner of Smoky Mountain Kayaking is currently working overseas with Operation Enduring Freedom. Although he is no longer in the US Army, Tony is bringing his 26 years of military experience with him to better serve the US Marines that operate in his location. Tony will be checking in from time to time to give us updates and photos. You can also follow these updates at our FaceBook page.
Summer Time in the Smokies!!
Smoky Mountain Kayaking welcomes you to another Summer season of quiet paddling in the Smokies and the area lakes. There is nothing like a relaxing paddle along mountain shorelines while viewing the Smoky Mountains' lush green hills. For those looking for a perfect way to end your day, try one of our evening sunset paddles and watch the night fall across the Smokies!
Lake kayaking, with boat lengths of twelve feet or more, are designed for open water paddling and certainly not to be confused with its whitewater cousins. Touring-style kayaking has found an ideal habitat on the lakes of east Tennessee, and while not the only way to experience the smokies' lakes, kayaking is without a doubt one of the best and frankly our favorite. Quiet and unobtrusive to wildlife, it is a great way to see things "up close and personal". Smoky Mountain Kayaking tours are an excellent introduction to kayaking and the wide variety of lakes throughout the Smokies.No Experience Needed!!
The lakes and rivers of the Smokies are a very unique, yet dynamic and diverse systems. This wild environment changes daily with the changing weather, stages of the moon, water levels, and the different seasons.
Our guides at Smoky Mountain Kayaking have a pulse on these ever changing dynamics and have chosen to live and work in the area as a way of life and a passion..
What better way to spend your time in the Smokies. Your adventure includes Kayak, Paddle, dry bags, Personal Flotation Device (PFD), an experienced guide, and all the scenery your eyes can handle!
