Benton County, Tennessee, was selected in May 2019 as one of five of the 2019 Tennessee RiverLine Pilot Communities. The Pilot Community program is an initiative of the Tennessee RiverLine Partnership designed to bring the expertise, ideas and insight of Tennessee River communities into the ongoing development of the Tennessee RiverLine.

The Tennessee RiverLine is a project for a 652-mile hiking, biking and paddling trail along the Tennessee River, stretching from Knoxville, Tennessee, to Paducah, Kentucky. The Tennessee RiverLine will serve as a catalyst for economic, social and environmental growth across four states while connecting communities and celebrating the history, beauty and diversity of the Tennessee River Valley. The project began as a vision in the UT School of Landscape Architecture, and since has transformed into a project including 25+ partners, such as the National Park Service, Tennessee State Parks and Tennessee Valley Authority and many more.
