Emory River is a big Cumberland Plateau river that offers some exciting whitewater. The put-in is located at Nemo Bridge where you will start off with the most difficult rapids of the entire adventure. Nemo Rapids are class III and found around the corner after floating under the bridge. You can portage on river right if you want to avoid them. The rest of the river cuts through a mountain-rimmed valley with Class II rapids found throughout the paddle. Norfolk Southern Railroad parallels the entire section. Takeout at the TN 299 bridge on river right.
