Weather: Sunny and Hot
Time on River: 3 1/2 hours
River Conditions:Class I
Distance from Nashville: 2 1/2 hours
Close By: Mammoth National Park
Put-In: Dennison River Ferry
Take-Out: Green River Ferry
Our
second day on the Green river was absolutely
great! The Saturday crowds had left and we did not have to share the river with
too many other paddlers. All of us
agreed that this was a better section of river than the day before even if it
was shorter.

| Put In at Dennison Ferry |
The
put in at Dennison Ferry is steep and not easy but do not let this detour you
from making the trip. This section of the Green definitely has more gumption
along with the great scenery and still being within the boarders of the Mammoth
Cave NP. There are great gravel bars to pull over and enjoy the water, with
some small riffles to keep things interesting and the water moving at a good
pace.
The
shuttle takes about 20 minutes and the last mile to Dennison Ferry is down a
very narrow gravel road. This part of the park is more remote and the traffic
was nonexistent.
What
a great trip. I see other paddles along the Green River
in our future.
