The Obed Wild and Scenic River drains a portion of the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee. This beautiful river is popular with kayakers and paddlers, with three different difficulty classifications (II-IV), particularly in spring and fall, when more precipitation creates continuous rapids. Sandstone rock faces provide challenging climbing opportunities for experienced climbers. Anglers can enjoy fishing for smallmouth bass, bluegill, catfish and muskie to name a few, while hikers can take a relaxing stroll or more challenging hike to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
