  • 9. Roaring Fork Great Smoky Mountains National Park
    Roaring Fork is a stream in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, located in the Southeastern United States.

Like many mountain streams, Roaring Fork is volatile. While the stream presents as a peaceful trickle on any given day, it quickly becomes a raging whitewater rapid after a mild rain shower. The roar of the water is amplified by its echo on surrounding mountain ridges.
