Preserving Public Access to all Rivers in Tennessee
Every single day Tennesseans are being discouraged from using Tennessee's rivers and streams due to misunderstandings regarding public use and access laws. Preserving public access to Tennessee's rivers can not be accomplished alone.
This site is still under development, and we are still in the process of becoming registered as a non-profit organization. Depending on the amount of support that we receive, we would love to expand this effort throughout Tennessee. At this time, our resources only allow us to focus on the area of MIddle Tennessee.
Let's Keep the Tennessee's rivers and streams safe and accessible for the use of current residents and future generations of Tennesseans! Together!

TN-Stream is urgently seeking the details of any confrontations between private landowners and anglers or boaters on the following Tennessee Rivers:
Obey River (near Crawford, TN)
Roaring River (near Hillham, TN)
Submit a Landowner Confrontation Report today! While we have gathered evidence of navigability on all of these rivers, the State has not recognized them as navigable, which has invited landowners to claim the rivers as private. We need a record of angler or boater confrontations with landowners to support present and future legal and political actions to confirm public access to these rivers.
If you are aware of a Tennessee river or stream with it's public access being challenged, please let us know by using our general contact form.
When dealing with hostile landowners, please be careful to remain civil at all times but insist on getting the information needed to fill out the report. It’s your right to get this information.
A representative of Tennessee Stream may follow up with you for clarification or to get more information regarding your report.
