Caney Fork River

A major tributary of the Cumberland River, Caney Fork has along its shores scenic Edgar Evins State Park. Caney Fork River is known for its beauty and peacefulness, with canoes and kayaks gliding down quiet water. Look for the downstream section below Center Hill Dam to be a great spot for rainbow, brown and brook trout. Stripers are at the river's mouth, opposite Carthage. Popular fishing techniques on Caney Fork are fly fishing, bottom (or bait) fishing and fishing with lures. To fish on Caney Fork, you must have a Tennessee fishing license and a trout stamp.
