Tennessee River

I grew up in the Tennessee River Valley riding horses on the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge and traveling up and down the river by boat near Decatur. There is nothing that compares with a sunrise or sunset on the Tennessee. Little did I know the biological significance of this great river. The Alabama portion of the Tennessee River Basin is located along what is called the “Great Bend.” The name Great Bend was an Indian term adopted by early settlers to describe the arc of the Tennessee River as it reached its southern most bend in what is today Alabama. Alabama's Tennessee Basin is home to the rarest cavefish in America, the Alabama cavefish, considered to be one of the rarest freshwater fish in the world.
