Clinton Tennessee

Another cold night and foggy morning. We left our anchorage in fog this morning, but again it all cleared up within an hour. The Clinch River offers a peaceful, scenic and winding river between the Tennessee River and Clinton, TN. Many "ordinary" homes along the shore, and some very large nice homes as well. The River does continue up to Norris Lake, but the dam there does not have a lock, and the river is not marked or dredged for navigation past Clinton. I was a little dismayed that neither Oak Ridge or Clinton offered any kind of city dock where we could stop and explore the area. Oak Ridge has a rowing team and the river front there has a race course (currently shut down for the season), and what appears to be an announcement stand by the city park. We passed the TVA Bull Run Fossil Plant, and just beyond the center of Clinton we anchored on the back side of Clinton Island. Tomorrow we'll head back towards the Tennessee River.Leia mais
