Obed Visitor Center

Address: 208 North Maiden Street, Wartburg, TN 37887

The Obed and its tributaries cut deep sandstone gorges through Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau, creating whitewater runs prized by paddlers and cliff walls prized by rock climbers. Lilly Bluff offers a famous overlook above the river's twists.

Walk the easy trails to Lilly Bluff Overlook, splash in Clear Creek at Nemo, and visit the Wartburg visitor center. For a challenge, experienced paddlers can kayak the Obed gorge or Daddys Creek, serious Class III-IV whitewater, or climb the park's celebrated sandstone routes.
