Check out this INCREDIBLE story! Trey paddled over 100 miles a day on his 7-day journey! The trip brought him right through Roane County.
Tennessee RiverLine
Join us in celebrating Trey Reaves, who just completed an extraordinary 7-day paddle of the entire 652-mile Tennessee RiverLine—finishing strong in Paducah, KY!
Trey pushed the limits of human endurance, paddling over 100 miles a day for up to 20 hours at a time. Along the way, he faced relentless rain, punishing storms, howling wind, and even a broken part on his boat—but never let up. His grit and determination are nothing short of legendary.
More than just a physical feat, Trey’s journey shines a light on the spirit of the Tennessee RiverLine—a shared investment in connection, adventure, and stewardship. We’re deeply grateful to Trey for letting us follow along on this powerful journey, and for setting a new bar for what’s possible on the river.
This wasn’t just a paddle. It was a triumph.
