The Tennessee Eastman Hiking and Canoeing Club (TEHCC) has been
providing adventures for outdoor enthusiasts of northeast Tennessee and
southwest Virginia since 1946.
Headquartered in Kingsport, Tennessee, the club is organized under the
auspices of the Eastman Chemical Company Recreation Club.
The TEHCC’s objectives are to provide hiking and paddling
opportunities for its membership and to maintain the local hiking trails
for which it has responsibility.

Paddling |
|
Where there are mountains, there are rivers and the southern
Appalachians are no different.
TEHCC members regularly paddle down some of the best runs in the eastern
United States like the Nolichucky, Watauga and French Broad Rivers. |

Trail Maintenance |
|
The TEHCC has
responsibility for maintaining over 130 miles of the Appalachian Trail
from Spivey Gap, NC to Damascus, VA. Multiple maintenance trips are
scheduled each month for clearing and relocating trail and shelter
upkeep. |
In addition to hiking, paddling and trail maintenance, the TEHCC promotes
outdoor education and conservation, hosts social events and offers rental
equipment for club members. We are closely affiliated with the Appalachian
Trail Conservancy, Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy and Appalachian
Paddling Enthusiasts. Membership in the TEHCC is not limited to Eastman
employees. We welcome all outdoor enthusiasts.
