Tennessee Stream (TSPAC) is dedicated to protecting and restoring the public’s legal right to access and navigate Tennessee’s rivers and streams. By documenting federal navigability determinations, educating the public and law enforcement, challenging unlawful restrictions, and promoting responsible stewardship, we work to ensure that all Tennesseans can safely enjoy the waterways that belong to us all—today and for generations to come.
We envision a Tennessee where every resident can freely and confidently access the state’s rivers and streams, supported by clear laws, informed communities, and unwavering respect for the public’s right to navigate its waterways. Our goal is a future where public access is protected, conflicts are resolved through understanding—not intimidation—and Tennessee’s rivers remain open, healthy, and cherished by all who depend on them.
