Roll Practice
East Tennessee Whitewater Club holds a roll practice almost every Friday of the year. It is a great place to catch up on your skills and plan trips. Next to the Summer Clinic, roll practice is the best place to learn to kayak. There are usually experienced people there to help you learn to forward stroke, back stroke, brace, roll, and everything in between.
Winter Time Schedule
Most Friday nights from 8:30 PM to 9:45 PM at the Oak Ridge Civic Center indoor pool. Meet at the back door and wash your boat off with the hose. The cost is $5 per boat for adults, or $3 per boat for 18 and under. Runs every week unless otherwise noted. This year's schedule is shown below.
The Civic Center's Address:
1403 Oak Ridge Tpke
Oak Ridge, TN 37830

Typical Winter Roll Practice
Summer Time Schedule
Every Friday Night as soon as people get off of work at the Clark Center Park. No cost to come, usually ends around 7:30 but feel free to come whenever. It is a great place to plan a trip or just get ready for the weekend paddling. If the venue is moved somewhere else (aka a river) it will be posted on the forum, but this rarely happens..
To get to Clark Center Park, which is also known as Carbide Park, from Oak Ridge - go to the intersection of Illinois Avenue and Scarboro Road and go south on Scarboro past the Y-12 Plant and over Chestnut Ridge. Go straight through the traffic light on Bethel Valley Road on Pumphouse road, and turn right at the gate and drive several miles to the park. Drive past the park headquarters and park on the right in the small lot. The place where we practice is directly across the lake from the boat ramp. When the swimming area is open, we park in the picnic area near our roll practice spot. |
