Where would I find boating regs for TN?
I know I need a flotation and whistle not sure about a paddle....

Paddles aren't required by law. Basically you need a wearable PFD for each person, a type IV throwable if 16' or longer, a fire extinguisher if the vessel has enclosed or built-in gas tanks, registration if under power of motor or sail, lights if out after sunset, and passengers under 13 must wear PFD's when underway. Lighting varies based on length but red and green on front and all around white light visible from behind.

Wayne has it well covered for you.

But, if you want to read a little further, here is the link to the Boating Safety Handbook that will have all of your needed information:
