About the clarks river
The Clarks River is a 66-mile long tributary of the Tennessee River in western Kentucky. It was named after explorer William Clark from the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The river flows through a diverse landscape of wetlands, forests, and farmland. It is fed by several small streams and creeks, making it an important water source for agriculture. The river is also home to several fish species, including the endangered fish species, the Kentucky darter. One of the notable dams on the Clarks River is the Kentucky Dam, which was built in the 1930s to control flooding and generate hydroelectric power. The river offers recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation.
