Outdoor Recreation
When it’s time to get out of the city and take in the great outdoors, there’s no place like Tennessee, with its endless and varied landscape of lush mountains, meandering rivers, dramatic gorges, rolling farmlands, rushing streams and open vistas.
In every season, in every part of the state, Tennessee offers ample opportunities to enjoy the world of outdoor sports. Fish in a fast-running brook or calm, beautiful lake. Hike above a breathtaking ravine or backpack through cool mountain trails. Bike on wilderness paths or race along smooth trails. Camp by a lazy stream, hunt in the greenforests, get your thrills climbing a sheer rock face or zipping through the treetops, or just spend an easy afternoon playing games in the great outdoors.
Travel on foot or on horseback, by bike or on snow, you will be amazed by the beauty, variety and majesty of Tennessee. Take the road less traveled through Tennessee. You won’t regret it.
