Class II-III Obed River, TN
Potters Ford to Obed Junction
The Obed River system is a high-quality, rainfall-runoff-dominated watershed characterized by extremes in stream flow, both in response to seasonal rainfall variation and individual storms. The Obed River and its designated tributaries, Daddys Creek and Clear Creek, are located atop the Cumberland Plateau physiographic province in Tennessee. Wild whitewater running through 500-foot deep gorges offers boaters the chance to drift below rock climbers challenging their skills on the sandstone bluffs.
Remote 12 mile section with lots of Class III and wonderfull Scenery, very little use due to length. A challenging run that should not be underestimated due to it's remote nature.
