Cumberland River Walk - A river with beauty and enchantment.

We take another journey through Cumberland River Walk. A river traveled by boats and barges. Used for fishing and other marine sports in the summer. Have found my self waling down the 1 mile walking trail just fascinated of all the beauty found there.

This river walk is a stage year round. Where different activities are show cased there. But I have to say that for me the most amazing thing to do there is to take photos of its scenic beauty. How the trees reflect on the river, the snow makes it look like a magical place, the early morning fog covering the whole river. It's just amazing.

A LITTLE HISTORY:

Clarksville’s historic downtown area was changed forever on 22 January 1999 when an F3 tornado struck leaving approximately a 4.3 mile, 880 yard-wide path.  Estimated wind speeds were in excess of 200 mph.  It first struck along Riverside Drive, destroying the Petri Cigar Building, damaging trees in Valley Brook Park and devastating the Dog Hill neighborhood.  In approximately five minutes, it had taken a five-mile path through Clarksville to St. Bethlehem area, hitting the campus of Austin Peay State University area and the Red River neighborhood. (Info pulled from http://www.mchsociety.org/Index.html)

Then again in 2010 Clarksville TN is hit by another devastating flood. The flood broke all recent records and came within 5 feet of the largest recorded flood on record, the 1937 Flood. The flood stage is 46 feet, the previous record (1975) was 57.10 feet, the crest of this flood was 62.58 feet (info: http://www.clarksvilleonline.com). It left many businesses so damaged that they didn't open again. All the cars at the dealership were completely totaled. If you go to the Wendy's Fast Food restaurant there you will see a mark that will show you up to where the water rose. It was a devastating and sad moment for Clarksville.

But since then Clarksville Montgomery County has taken measures to ensure that doesn't happen again. From expanding the river sides to making sure all debris is cleaned from the river.
