Mossy Creek Access
Mossy Creek Access
Mossy Creek Access provides a put-in point for floating the scenic Mossy Creek water trail in Jefferson City, Tennessee, located behind Carson Newman near the gravel culvert area with parking available at the adjacent Mossy Creek Wildlife Viewing Area.
The float takes 1-2 hours depending on water flow and features diverse ecosystems including water grasses, fast-moving sections, and marshlands before merging into Cherokee Lake.
Floaters should provide their own equipment (small boats or sturdy floats recommended), arrange their own shuttle transportation, and wear a PFD at all times; the water trail officially opened May 24, 2025, and is still under development.
