Two riverboats, the Paint Rock and the Chattanooga, kept the Cracker Line going along a water route between Bridgeport and Kelly's Ferry, about twenty miles east of Bridgeport on the Tennessee River. Negotiating the river past Kelly's Ferry to Brown's Ferry was difficult, although it was used sometimes. The current was strong because the river narrowed in the gorge formed by Raccoon Mountain and Walden's Ridge, and recent heavy rains had increased the volume of water
 
From Kelly's Ferry supplies made it to Chattanooga by a land route that ran from Kelly's Ferry, over a low pass (Cummings Gap) in Raccoon Mountain, through the north end of Lookout Valley and across the bridge at Brown's Ferry. Other routes supplemented this combined land-water route
