The Wolf River both naturally meanders and flows through engineered channels on its long trip from Northern Mississippi to the Mississippi River just North of downtown Memphis. There are numerous access locations for a wide variety of paddling. These include LaGrange, Moscow, Rossville, Piperton, Collierville, Germantown, and Kennedy Park, among others.

The most highly touted stretch of the Wolf River is definitely the "Ghost River" section between LaGrange and Moscow, Tennessee. Each of these access points are discussed on the Wolf River Conservancy page with some details about trip options.

There are now two outfitters that will rent canoes or run a shuttle for you. You can also rent canoes from Outdoors, Inc. in Memphis. You can find details about all of the outfitters here.

Since I have only paddled the "Ghost River" section, that is the one that will be highlighted here.
