Riverside Nashville might have a reputation for country tunes but this "Athens of the South" is also home to good galleries, museums and historic mansions.
Located on the Little Tennessee River near its confluence with the Tennessee River, Tellico Lake is about 30 miles southwest of Knoxville. From the dam, the clear waters of this 16,500 acre lake back up into the narrow valleys of the Great Smoky Mountain foothills and the Cherokee National Forest. Near the dam, a canal links Tellico to Fort Loudoun Lake, which further enhances recreation opportunities. Fifty-one species of fish including bass, crappie, and rainbow trout inhabit Tellico Lake and its tributaries.
