River Fun Just Got Easier in North Alabama!

Get ready, Decatur! The Tennessee RiverLine just upped its game in Alabama, meaning more outdoor adventures are heading our way!

Decatur Morgan County Tourism is buzzing about TJ Johnson, the new Alabama-based program manager for the Tennessee RiverLine. This is HUGE!

What does this mean for us?

TJ’s job is all about hooking up with local groups and making sure everyone—residents and tourists alike—can easily enjoy our amazing river. Think kayaking, fishing, hiking...the works!

Big Bucks for Big Fun

Thanks to a hefty $750,000 Innovate Alabama grant, the University of North Alabama and the Tennessee RiverLine are teaming up to boost outdoor recreation, education, and even small businesses connected to the river. Cha-ching!

What's the Tennessee RiverLine Anyway?

It's a massive project aiming to create a seamless system of outdoor activities along the entire 652-mile Tennessee River. From Knoxville, Tennessee, all the way to Paducah, Kentucky, it's all about access, protecting the river, and helping river towns thrive.

Decatur's Winning!

Being right on the river puts Decatur in a prime spot to benefit from this outdoor recreation boom. With TJ on board, expect even better coordination and connection to exciting new opportunities. Get ready to explore!
