  Wolf River (Tennessee) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wolf River is a small alluvial river of West Tennessee and North Mississippi, whose confluence with the Mississippi River was the site of various Chickasaw, French, Spanish and American communities and forts that eventually became Memphis, Tennessee.
Note: This river should not be confused with the Wolf River of Middle Tennessee which flows along the Cumberland Plateau nor should its headwaters in North Mississippi be confused with the estuarine Wolf River that flows past Pass Christian, Mississippi into the Gulf of Mexico via St.
The Wolf River area is home to deer, otter, mink, bobcat, fox, coyote, turkey and a wide variety of waterfowl.

 Wolf River (Middle Tennessee) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wolf River of Middle Tennessee rises on the Cumberland Plateau at the confluence of its three forks.
It crosses briefly into Clinton County, Kentucky where its water becomes slack due to the impoundment of Dale Hollow Dam on the Obey River; in fact, its confluence with the Obey is essentially located at a corner comprised of Pickett County, Tennessee, Clay County, Tennessee, and Clinton County, Kentucky.
This stream is not to be confused with the Wolf River of West Tennessee which flows into the Mississippi at Memphis.

 Wolf River - TN
The Wolf is a "running cypress swamp" river, similar in appearance to the Louisiana cypress swamps you've all seen in movies but with moving water instead of still water.
The upper Wolf is a near pristine example of a river environment that was once prevalent in the central portion of the Mississippi River basin - most of the others have been channelized and damaged in other ways, and few if any are close to the Wolf in beauty and abundant wildlife.
The upper Tennessee part contains wilderness sections of the river and a large stillwater lake/swamp called "Ghost River." Some parts of the river are almost still, some have a moderate current, and some parts are relatively fast water where the river runs over terrain anchored by cypress trees ("cypress rapids").

 OzDASL: Wolf River Pollution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Jaffe, Parker and Wilson have investigated the concentration of several hydrophobic organic substances (such as hexachlorobenzene, chlordane, heptachlor, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin) in the Wolf River in Tennessee.
It was expected that these hydrophic substances might have a nonhomogeneous vertical distribution in the river because of differences in density between these compounds and water and because of the adsorption of these compounds on sediments, which could lead to higher concentrations on the bottom.
It is important to check this hypothesis because the standard procedure of sampling at six-tenths of the depth could miss the bulk of these pollutants if the distribution were not uniform.

State transportation departments and bridge designers are facing key challenges today in creating cost-effective bridges that blend with their environment with few disruptions, either during construction or over the long term.
The bridge on State Route 57 over the Wolf River in Moscow, Tenn., consists of a 20-span precast, prestressed concrete AASHTO Type III I-beam structure with a composite concrete deck, made continuous for composite dead and live loads.
Because of the wetlands environment, state regulations called for these work roads on each side of the bridge to be built of imported, clean shot rock that would be removed after construction.
