Class III-IV Clear Creek, TN
Lilly to Nemo (Lilly Bridge to Nemo)
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.
3 III-IV class rapids in fairly rapid succession, Jack Rock Falls-Camel Rock and Wootens Folly. Caution undercut rock on right of Wootens Folly. Beautiful canyon paddle.
