In mid March based around Lenor City,Tn. Depending on rain it has a little of everything from bigger runs to creeks, class 2 to 4/5.
Waldens Ridge Whitewater.com has info in its forums section about dates.

I am from Quebec Canada, I might come down wih a couple of friends. Is it just creeking or do you have bigger rivers? I watched a couple of videos of the creeks and it looked really difficult. I run class 3 to 4, would it be fun for us?

Most definitely, there's at least a hundred different runs to do within 2 hours radius.

I would caution against planing for certain on anyone area, allowing some wiggle room will allow you to access the best available area (due to normal rainfall distribution). I usually boat in N.Alabama-N.Georgia-or E.Tennessee, depending on where's the best water levels. A hour or two difference in camping, will make a big difference. The Smokies, Waldens Ridge, Cahutta, Lookout Mtn, Cumberland Plateau, and Sand Mtn. - all get extremely different amounts of precipitation within each front, and each has something to offer. The direction of front (weather pattern) will determine the best place, for instance in the Smokies Eastside to Westside.

Just get the bottom ready and come on down... it's the part that counts, and we're kinda use to seeing that side of you anyway.
