The Tennessee River has been closed to recreational boaters from Paducah, Ky., to the Alabama border because of record high water levels and excessive river drift.

The U.S. Coast Guard said that no recreational vessels are allowed from the mouth of the Tennessee to Pickwick Landing, Tenn., a stretch of 206 miles.
