Rock Garden Rapid
Rock Garden Rapid
Rock Garden Rapid is a Class III rapid located on the Obed River in Morgan County, Tennessee (near Lancing), situated at approximately 988 feet elevation.
This boulder-congested rapid requires skilled navigation through a rock garden with limited lines—paddlers should look for a triangle-shaped rock pointing upstream and choose a line just left or right of it, as both options are shallow and technical.
Expect river rash on boats and kayaks; this rapid is best suited for experienced paddlers comfortable with technical maneuvering through tight boulder fields.
