Exploring Caves by Boat Along the Tennessee River!

Jason and I loaded up our John Boat and headed out on the Tennessee River in search of some bluff-side caves and deep vertical pits. After putting in, we cruised about two miles downstream to a massive limestone bluff that had been calling our name.
We found a steep ravine that gave us access to the top and made the short hike up to the first cave, a 105-foot blind pit. For those who aren’t familiar, a blind pit means there’s no continuing passage at the bottom… just a straight drop into a chamber. But what it lacked in passage, it made up for in beauty. The pit was open air and incredibly well decorated with formations. A truly find.
About 350 feet away, we located the second cave. It started with a tight vertical squeeze that immediately gets your attention, then opened up into a 70-foot drop into a beautifully decorated chamber below. Massive formations filled the room, including one impressive feature known as “The Big Boy.” We spent some time exploring the chamber before making our way back up, hiking down to the bluff, and cruising back to the put-in.
Boat access, vertical drops, decorated chambers...just another great day exploring caves along the Tennessee River.
