THE WOLF RIVER
The Wolf River flows into the towns of Rossville and Piperton. The river finds a channel and meanders into civilization. Between Moscow and Rossville is the North Fork. Along these sections one will find plenty of sandbars that make a great place to rest. Along the riverbank in Rossville is the William B. Clark Preserve. There is a 1600 ft. boardwalk that tours bottomland cypress tupelo swamp. This is a great way to experience the river for those unable to paddle a boat.
MEMPHIS POLO CLUB
The Memphis Polo Club has 16 members—men and women of all ages and skill levels–and we’re looking for more.
We play friendly practice games twice during the week, with faster, more competitive tournaments matches on the weekends. In addition to high-powered play, we frequently enjoy laid-back social events, from traditional charity soirees to casual, friendly field-side asados—traditional Argentine barbecues.

WILLIAM B. CLARK CONSERVATION AREA
William B. Clark Conservation Area is a 460-acre natural area along the Wolf River in Fayette County located approximately 1 mile north of Rossville, TN. The natural area protects an un-channelized section of the Wolf River including meanders, sloughs, and bottomland hardwood forests. The river and its sloughs provide excellent habitat for rare and endangered freshwater mussels and other aquatic organisms. A variety of aquatic and terrestrial habitats offer opportunities for observing birds and other wildlife. Examples of un-channelized river and functional bottomland forests have become rare in west Tennessee.
An interpretive boardwalk exists on site and meanders through the bald cypress-water tupelo forest for about 1600 feet. From the boardwalk, wildlife such as snakes, turtles, amphibians, beavers, wading birds, and aquatic vegetation are a common site. Cypress knees are seen protruding from the moist forest floor and shallow water. The boardwalk provides access to rarely seen interior of a riparian bald cypress-water tupelo swamp, which have been quickly disappearing from West Tennessee.
PUBLIC ACCESS:
Parking area and boat ramp are located on the east side of State Highway 194 immediately north of the Wolf River Bridge. A short trail leads to the start of the boardwalk.
