River access is very lacking. I live close by and unless you want an all day float, I haven't found adaquate take outs. You can put in a couple places in Tellico but there is only 1 ramp down stream off Reagan Valley road, before you get to the backwaters of Tellico lake. I am also not sure how open the river is as far as downed trees on that section. I am still looking for access as I would love to fish that section
