Team River Runner Chattanooga welcomes all Veterans, Active Duty and their family members to join us
on the water. Looking for an outdoor hobby, adventure and a sense of community? A way to
reconnect with other Veterans or your family? We got your six.

We have it all from Flatwater to Class IV Whitewater. We provide the equipment, instructors,
safety boaters, all you need to go is show up!!

We start you off at the lake, get you comfortable in the appropriate boat, work on basic skills and
figure out what direction you want to take your paddling in.

We also have Swift Water Rescue and Wilderness First Aid classes during the year. If you are
interested in becoming a Kayak Instructor we have you covered there too!!

If kayaking doesn’t do it for you we also organize Raft Trips and are working on a Stand Up
Paddle Board option.

Our priorities are 1. Safety, 2. Having FUN and developing skills, 3. Veterans getting a chance to
hang out with other Veterans.
We are active pretty much year round…..come check us out!!!
