Location: In Celina on SR 53, below Dale Hollow Dam.

States: Tennessee

The Obey River is a 47.8-mile-long tributary of the Cumberland River in Tennessee. It joins the Cumberland River on the western edge of the town of Celina. Through the Cumberland and Ohio Rivers, the Obey River is part of the Mississippi River watershed. The Obey was impounded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to form Dale Hollow Reservoir, the site of the Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery, which stocks the Obey River and many other rivers and lakes around the Southeast with rainbow trout. The Obey serves as a camping, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing destination for local residents and visitors.

One our favorites!

The Obey River is one of our favorite Tennessee rivers to kayak! It's clear and cool even on the hottest days!
