- Anyone can go to Burgess Falls State Park and hike in to see it from above but have you ever noticed the kayaks and boats down below? Here is what it is like to get to the falls from down there.
If you have a good eye you may notice that this video of Burgess Falls is from two different trips. The second part of the video Don and I paddle to Fancher Falls (80 feet high) after going to Burgess Falls (136 feet high). Making for over 12 miles of paddling for the day.
If you are wanting to paddle to Burgess Falls you need to find your way to the end of Cane Hollow Road (about 10 minutes for the State Park). The paddle is 4 miles round trip.
If you want to just see Fancher Falls it is closer to start at Cookville Marina and go to the end to Taylor Creek. It will be around 5 miles round trip.
Motor boats know kayakers are out there and are pretty careful but always still be careful.
Also there is no organization to the parking at Cane Hollow so is gets pretty crazy and good parking is limited so get there early enough. If you are using a trailer for your boat there is not a paved surface to back down and pull up. I saw some having trouble pulling their boat back out.
I am so excited to go in 2 weeks!! I got a kayak for my birthday just to go here!😂🤣 I appreciate the video
Glad it helped plan your trip. Enjoy your paddle!
The still pictures at the end are a nice touch!
I liked that area where you was kayaking around the trees. The waterfalls where awesome!!
That was an awesome trip for sure. I highly recommend it if you get a chance.
Any fish in the trees? Like your history lessons. You jinxed yourself with the wind when you fired Billy. LOL
Billy noticed that nobody was fishing and it was true so we wondered if maybe it just isn't any good or if everyone out there is just going to the falls.
Billy knows he ain't fired. Those epic up wind paddles are just part of the fun.
What a beautiful waterfall!! Thank you for sharing! Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
this was super cool and so peaceful to watch! i really want to get out there!
Oh yeah, it's a beautiful area for sure. If you have a kayak I highly recommend it.
Nice trip!
The wind thought I was with you ! Great video, wish I had been there.
If you were off on Friday you would have been there too.
I wish I had been! I was changing tanks at southern hills hospital wearing a full hazmat suit minus the big hood ..
@@williamwirick886 wow! sounds like epic fun.
Nice trip. Makes me want to get a yak.😁
It will change your life! :)
How long is the Kayak round trip? Just trying to plan a day out there. Thanks
If you do 12 miles to see both falls it took us 5 hours 20 mins.
I average 20 to 30 minutes per mile depending on if I'm going easy or digging in. Just to Burgess is 4 miles round trip. Figure in time at the falls. Maybe 2 1/2 hours total.
What app are you using to track your trip?
Map My Walk. Of course you just tell it if you are trail running, paddling, mountain biking, road biking, ect.
How deep is the water when you passed the pontoon boat
I really have no idea.
Was there kayaks at the entrance of the river?
You mean like rental kayaks? None that I know of.
Why is the water so nasty looking?
Not sure but it is not clear at all.
