Well, we just got back from visiting two: @ObedNPS and @BigSouthForkNPS on the Cumberland Plateau of Tennesse. Both rivers are steeped in both history and terrain. #ParkChat

A2 Well I can name one: the Chattaooga Wild and Scenic River. I've been whitewater rafting on that river. No, that is not me in the photo. I captured the photo. #ParkChat

A2) Great Egg Harbor SRR, and an actual photo from said place from this summer! It was way to rainy to enjoy much more, but we hear the paddling downstream is actually a great and easy adventure. #parkchat #NJ #Pinebarrens @Visit_NJ

replying to @59NationalParks
@59NationalParks @NatlParkService I white-water rafted in Denali, but can't recall the river's name. Wonder if that might be one of the nine.
I did white-river in the New River Gorge in WV, and would think that is though...#parkchat

Q3. Rivers offer an abundance of recreation. What’s the best river adventure out there within a National Park (or more likely a National Forest)? #ParkChat?

replying to @sonlight00 @sonlight00 @Wild_Tribute I barely count it as a river because you can walk across it. It’s more like a really wide creek. (I should check my river bias) #ParkChat

replying to @RCGibby73 @RCGibby73 @59NationalParks @NatlParkService #parkchat A2 we've been to all but 2. I did my homework! 😁 @BlackCanyonNPS was the most surprising and awesome. Although we still vow to get back to @CanyonlandsNPS too. Just wow. Even more so on both of those than @GrandCanyonNPS .

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @59NationalParks @NatlParkService Yep, 30 years ago, and still remember the guide talking about its flow direction, being named "New" even though it was "Old" ...and also the one time where I jumped from about 20 feet into water. #parkchat
