Getting ready to go on the TN-Tombigbee river. Any tips and advice on where to go and what to do would be helpful. This will be our first river trip.

Thank you Capt Tom, I will check it out. Appreciate the info. Always enjoy learning from others experiences. Looking forward to making a dream come true [emoji305]This spring I did that trip from Chattanooga to Mobile Bay (and beyond.) I made a little side blog about it on my boat site, if you're interested.

I am very interested please share. I am starting that same route in 2 weeks.This spring I did that trip from Chattanooga to Mobile Bay (and beyond.) I made a little side blog about it on my boat site, if you're interested.
Was it your choice to go short daily legs on Tennessee/Tombigbee rivers?The link is right there in the quote you posted. It's was a fun trip, very different from what I'm used to.

Question along this route:
If one were in Nashville, how much time would they want to allow to get to Joe Wheeler in Rogersville, AL?
Allowing for stops and fun along the way, and locks. Are there many locks?
Also, looks like one would have to go back up Lake Barkely and Down the Kentucky lake, about 381 miles.
You'd be talking 5 locks.
From Nashville, you might stop at Clarksville, but mostly just a river run and perhaps anchoring out on Barkley. I'd definitely go to Green Turtle Bay. Then on Kentucky Lake a couple of very nice Kentucky State Parks. Perhaps a night at Kentucky Dam and then one at Paris Landing. A lot of area to explore. Next the Pickwick area for a day or two, then Florence, then on to Wheeler.
I'd say minimum of 7 days and to enjoy perhaps 7 days travel, 7 days not traveling. One could spend as long as an entire season.
If you stop at Paris Landing let us know, we're on A dock .Thx BandB,
Good info. I've been to all the Ky state parks in the area, and agree, they are great. However, will try Clarksville, Green Turtle and Paris Landing (where I have a brother).
Re: Green Turtle... is that an area or just a stop at the marina? Looks nice, and I might have been there before, but years ago, so don't remember a thing.
