Paducah-McCracken County and Calvert City are two of the 15 Tennessee River communities selected for an inaugural cohort of the Tennessee RiverTowns Program, according to an announcement Thursday.

The two are starting the journey to become an official Tennessee RiverTown and part of the Tennessee RiverLine — described as North America’s regional trail system incorporating a continuous system of paddling, hiking and biking experiences along the Tennessee River’s 652-mile reach.
