Hunting and Fishing Permits

An updated Tennessee Fishing License is required to fish in the Obed. Hunting is permitted in certain locations at the Obed Wild and Scenic River. Please see a park ranger or stop in at the Obed Visitor Center to get information on the permissible hunting locations within the park. Hunting is also permitted within the boundaries of the adjacent Catoosa Wildlife Management Area during scheduled hunting seasons.

Contact the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency at http://www.tnwildlife.org for information on both hunting and fishing in Tennessee. You may also purchase a hunting or fishing license online.

Hog (Wild Boar) hunting permits are also available at the Obed Visitor Center as well as online. The permits cost $5.00 and will be good for the entire hog hunting season. Interested hunters must produce their valid Tennessee hunting license in order to purchase a hog hunting permit.
