Description
Join us as Tennessee Citizens for Wilderness Planning and Obed Wild & Scenic River work together during this annual volunteer river cleanup event. It's also a great opportunity to explore different sections of the Obed River System, as well as meet and work with fellow volunteers.
Upon meeting at the visitor center, volunteers will break off into groups to go to different sections of the river, where they can gather the trash and debris along the banks of the river.
Experienced whitewater paddlers are welcome, but they must provide their own whitewater boat, personal flotation device, helmet, and appropriate river attire. Paddlers should be proficient in Class III/IV whitewater.
The river trip is subject to cancellation due to weather and river levels. Although rapidly changing conditions could necessitate cancelling the river trip on the morning of the event, a tentative go-no-go decision will be made by 4:00 PM on the afternoon of Friday, March 27.
Participants can obtain status updates via the park’s Facebook page at Facebook.com/ObedNPS.
