The ORR has tremendous, untapped potential as a regional destination for low impact outdoor recreation. At the present time, DOE severely restricts public access to the ORR, allowing access without control restrictions only at four designated greenways and Clark Center Park. Other allowed recreational opportunities include Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency-managed deer and wild turkey hunts. DOE also supports a few guided nature and bird watching walks. Clark Center Park offers picnic shelters, softball, volleyball, a boat launching ramp, fishing areas and other recreational activities.
AFORR actively seeks expanded recreational opportunities for citizens of the area. DOE’s reluctance to open additional recreational areas to the public are due primarily to safety and security concerns, the cost of oversight, and responsibility and cost for emergency response.
