Canoe the Caney

Haunted Canoe Trips

Silver Point, Tennessee

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights starting September 25th – November 7th

This Fall at Canoe the Caney, bring your friends and climb aboard for a spine-tingling, after-dark, historic ghost tour.

Setting the stage for this chilling adventure, The Haunted Canoe Trip takes you into the spooky world of the Caney after dark. This haunting venture is an epic, spine-tingling ghost tour that first wanders to the old cemetery. Stay close as you hear the accounts of a flooded town with lost graves, ghostly encounters, unexplained voices, and eerie sounds.

Nearing an old military recreation base, you’ll quiver at the stories of ghostly hauntings as you continue slowly down the dark path through the base leading to the water’s edge. Once there, if you’re brave enough, you’ll board your canoe and paddle over the original location of the old 1800s sunken cemetery that is just a mere 15 feet below the water’s surface. This is where many believe lost graves still remain and those spirits trapped just beneath these dark waters of Cemetery Cove.

Are you brave enough to paddle these waters as your tour takes you deep into the Cove? It’s frightening, it’s unbelievably dark, and….it’s real!
