The '''Tennessee River''' is a tributary of the larger [[Ohio River]], and in turn a part of the [[Mississippi River]] System.  It is approximately 652 miles in length and flows into the Ohio river at Paducah, [[Kentucky]].  The Tennessee River had an important part to play in the distribution of electricity in the Southeastern United States, when it was damed several times by the [[Tennessee Valley Authority]], which was created in 1933 by an act of [[Congress]].  9 Separate dams control flooding, provide navigation far inland, produce electricity and provide opportunity for recreation on the Tennessee River.
