Clinch River
From its headwaters in Tazewell to the Tennessee state line, the Clinch is the most bio-diverse of all rivers in the Northern hemisphere – home to the nation’s greatest concentration of rare and imperiled freshwater animals, and second only to the Amazon overall. It’s also considered the Heart of Appalachia’s nature-made waterpark!
From whitewater rafting, leisure kayaking, canoeing, fishing or swimming its waters, to hiking, birding/wildlife watching, picnicking, and camping along its banks, you can discover your own style of adventure on the Clinch!
Retrace the footsteps of the American history. Named for an otherwise forgotten explorer, the Clinch River played a major role in the exploration and settlement of southwestern Virginia. Early settlers made their homes along its eastern shore, while others crossed the formidable flow and explored the wilderness beyond; Daniel Boone among them. The Clinch River is an outdoor classroom covering many different subjects. Get to know the Clinch.
