The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Crossville, as you can see on the road map further down. This stretch of Obed River in Tennessee is 4 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-IV section. The wild scenery of the Cumberland Plateau Mountains is great. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. The scenic beauty of Cumberland/ Morgan County and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Tennessee is often more difficult
than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. This is a pretty decent length section, you can easily run it on an afternoon. No need to look hard for hotels, and if you make reservations in advance you're all
set. This is not the only paddling section in this river system, there are others too. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here.
