Caney Fork river and surrounding farmland.

Below the Center Hill Dam where it runs into the Caney Fork River. If you look closely at the rocks near the water's edge you can make out some kind of water fowl. Not sure what that was.

Waterfall flowing out of the side of the bluff below the Center Hill Dam.

A young couple enjoying a day of fishing on the Caney Fork River. I would hate to fall into the water. The Caney Fork is cold!

Road trip Sunday on the banks for the Caney Fork river in Smith county.

Danny took this photo of me and T.

Through truss bridge over the Caney Fork river. I took this picture
from the Buffalo Valley rest area off I-40. This bridge was built in
1907 and was a part of the Tennessee Central Railway.

Kayakers on the Caney Fork.

On the Banks of the Caney Fork

I would love to canoe down the Caney Fork some time.

Looking the other direction from the bridge. There were kayakers
on that little island jutting out into the river. The Caney Fork is
known for it's canoeing and kayaking.


Country roads take me home!

Caney Fork river somewhere near Smith County. I took this
shot a month ago and am just now getting around to posting
it. More to come!

A Walk in The Park

Another shot looking up river.


We found this cute little waterfall on our
walk in the park on Sunday. Tomorrow
I'll be posting some shots from the old Cordell
Hull Bridge.

A River Runs Through It

This past Sunday me and Terry gave up our afternoon nap
and took to the road. It was a nice day and I wanted to get
some pictures for my blog. We ended up in a park near where
we live. We've been meaning to check out this park for a long
time, but have never gotten around to it. The park has a nice
playground for the kids and a long walking trail that runs adjacent
to the Caney Fork River. We got off the beaten path and walked
down to the river's edge where I snapped these pictures.


The Caney Fork River flows into the Cumberland River
near Carthage. From Carthage the Cumberland River
flows into the Tennessee River at Land Between the Lakes
on the Kentucky - Tennessee Border.


The Caney Fork River flows for 144 miles in a northwesterly
direction to the Cumberland River, near Carthage, in Smith
county.

Use caution near dams. A large amount of water may be
discharged without warning at any time.

Caney Fork. I love the colors of the water! The lighting
that day was perfect for taking pictures.


We found this pretty little creek off the beaten
path. It was so calming and peaceful. I wanted
to stay there the rest of the day.

Take Me to the River, Dip Me in the Water!

Happy New Year Everyone! Thanks for checking out my
blog in 2009!

Fishin' on The Caney Fork

The backroad heading down to the Center Hill Dam. The
Caney Fork River is on the left.


We got out to take some pictures of the river and saw these
two guys fishing. One guy was holding up his catch while the
other one took his picture. It was a cold day to be fishing!


The beautiful Caney Fork River!
