About Paint Rock River

A gem of the Tennessee Valley, Paint Rock River runs through limestone karst country in the foothills of the southern Appalachians. Crystal-clear spring-fed flows support excellent smallmouth populations, and the river hosts one of the most intact mussel communities remaining in the eastern US. Light pressure and a rural character make it a true hidden water.
