If you are wanting to get out on the water this season Against the Flow Outdoors can make it happen!

April 2026 Business of the Month

The Byrdstown-Pickett County Chamber of Commerce would like to congratulate Against the Flow Outdoors on being chosen as the April Business of the Month!
We asked the owners, what they would like to share with everyone and this is what was said:

Against the Flow Outdoors: Bringing Adventure to the Water
Nestled in the heart of the Upper Cumberland, Against the Flow Outdoors is quickly becoming a go-to destination for outdoor enthusiasts and lake lovers alike. Purchased from the previous owners, Jessie and Ashley Walton in July 2025, this locally owned business is built on a passion for adventure, community, and the natural beauty that surrounds Dale Hollow Lake.

Owned and operated by Levi and Hannah Thoman alongside Joe and Tisha Brewington, Against the Flow Outdoors represents more than just a business—it’s a shared dream turned reality. With a strong commitment to customer experience and a love for the outdoors, the owners have created a welcoming environment for both locals and visitors looking to explore the water in a fun and memorable way.
Specializing in kayak rentals, Against the Flow Outdoors offers an easy and accessible way for individuals, families, and groups to enjoy the peaceful waters and scenic views of Dale Hollow Lake and the Wolf River. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or trying kayaking for the first time, their goal is to make every outing simple, safe, and enjoyable.

What sets Against the Flow Outdoors apart is their dedication to helping people slow down and reconnect—with nature, with family, and with themselves. In a world that often feels rushed, they invite you to quite literally go “against the flow,” take in the fresh air, and experience the beauty of the outdoors at your own pace. To schedule your own adventure, call 931-650-0271.

Against the Flow Outdoors is located at 111 Frisco Lane, Byrdstown, TN. Hope to see you soon!

Before people were coming to the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area to pedal their bikes, float their boats or climb our rocks, they were coming here to ride their horses. And they still are.
