Enjoy the Good Life
Here in Roane County, we know how to relax. With breathtaking waterways and the backdrop of the Great Smoky Mountains, nature calls us to come out and play. Endless opportunities for year-round recreation, from hiking and biking to fishing and boating, make it hard to say no to fun.
We know how to serve up great tastes and great music. Our festivals are crowd pleasers. And our history is legendary, from the pioneer era to Utopian towns to the world-shaking events of the Manhattan Project. So come see us. We’ll be happy to show you how to unplug and unwind.
