Summary

Adaptive kayaking at Fontana Lake in Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Description

Registration for participants of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park adaptive kayaking trip, June 8th, 2025. Please note: Due to limited resources, we only have enough kayaks for adaptive athletes on this trip. If you have a friend or family member wishing to join in, they will need to have their own boat. Friends/family will be limited to ONE per participant. 

This location will have an accessible porta-potty, but there are no restrooms with running water on site. There are accessible restrooms at the TVA Fontana Dam Visitor's Center, which you will pass on your drive in from the Knoxville area.
