Get out and explore YOUR Obed Wild and Scenic River! In celebration of the National Park Service Centennial, Obed is conducting a healthy hike along the Cumberland Trail section to Alley Ford on Saturday, February 27, at 1:00 p.m. (ET). 

Join a park ranger at the Rock Creek Campground, located off Catoosa Road past the Nemo Day Use Area, for a moderate to strenuous 5-mile round-trip hike to Alley Ford.
