Put In

Put In on Brush Creek is a whitewater put-in access point located in Rhea County, Tennessee. Brush Creek is a medium-sized stream classified as a Stream Order 4 waterway with a total length of 16.12 miles and a significant elevation drop of 336 feet, resulting in an average gradient of 20.8 feet per mile. This makes it a moving water environment suitable for whitewater paddling rather than flat water recreation.

The creek drains approximately 27 square miles with an average flow of 2.92 cubic feet per second and average velocity of 0.96 feet per second. These flow characteristics indicate moderately moving water with some current. The stream is located in a headwater region, meaning paddlers starting at this put-in will be working with water relatively close to the creek's source. The site's coordinates place it in the broader context of the regional watershed system.

Paddlers using this access point should be prepared for whitewater conditions and moving current. The specific launch facilities, parking amenities, and detailed site infrastructure are not documented in the available data, so visitors should contact local management or check current conditions before arrival. Given the stream order and gradient, this access point is most suitable for paddlers experienced with moving water.
