Kid jumping into a river

Clear Creek of the Obed

Sunday is a rest day, so we are ready for an exciting river outing. Today we drove around the Catoosa Wildlife area to paddle Clear Creek of the Obed River.

The water quality lives up to its name, and the cliffs that tower overhead are enjoyed seem to stand guard for the river as we stare up at them. This area is not just appreciated by whitewater paddlers but by rock climbers that travel from around the world to enjoy this beautiful place.
