About Roaring River Scenic River
The Roaring River is a 37.7-mile-long (60.7 km) tributary of the Cumberland River in the U.S. state of Tennessee. Via the Cumberland and Ohio rivers, it is part of the Mississippi River watershed. It rises on the Highland Rim approximately 7 miles (11 km) south of Livingston, Tennessee in Overton County. It initially flows roughly north, then turns largely west for the balance of its course. After crossing into Jackson County, it begins a relatively steep descent, resulting in the namesake "roar" during periods of high flow.
