Did you know that the is home to over 1,300 species of plants and animals? 🌱🐟

That's more than any other river in the eastern United States! When you're paddling along the Tennessee RiverLine, you'll have the chance to see all sorts of wildlife, from bald eagles to river otters.

You might even see some of the river's more unusual inhabitants, like the Tennessee cave salamander. So keep your eyes peeled; you might be surprised at what you see!
