About This Access Site
Kahuna is a whitewater take-out access point located on the Bald River in Monroe County, Tennessee. As a take-out site, this location is designed for boaters finishing a whitewater paddling trip rather than launching. The Bald River is known for its whitewater characteristics, making this an important access point in the local paddling community for safely exiting the river after running sections upstream. The site serves kayakers and canoeists navigating this Tennessee waterway.
