You will share what we are so blessed to have... nature in all it's glorious presence.  The smell of the forest after a morning rain. The sounds of the animals moving through the woods.  Clean mountain air filling your lungs.  Deep blue skies range the horizon  Clear water streams run ice cold.  The chirp of the crIckets and the woeful cry of the coyote mix to a symphony of nature's own writing.  A thousands of "shooting stars" fill the night's black sky and you'll feel the evenings breeze in your hair.  Your home here in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.  These mountains ease your soul.

White water Rafting

If you are a fan of water sports, you must take advantage of Cocke County's blossoming whitewater rafting industry on the Pigeon River.  Located in Hartford, just off Interstate 40 at exit 447, and just minutes form the North Carolina state line, there are twelve rafting companies waiting to take you on the wild water adventure of your life.  Come to Cocke County and ride five miles of white water containing eighteen class tw, three, and four rapids on the upper Pigeon River in professionally guided, six-person rafts.  Each reputable company employs only certified guides and maintains the highest standards of operation.  The Big Pigeon River is also the site of the annual Champion International Whitewater Shootout, featuring America's best boaters.

For people not wanting to experience the rough and tumble ride of the Upper Pigeon River, or for those people who have never been whitewater rafting before, a calmer, more serene route is available through all rafting companies utilizing the Lower Pigeon River.   This more laid-back and scenic section of the river is perfect for a family float.  Why go to an amusement park just to stand in a line for a man-made water ride when Cocke County has the natural alternative coursing through the Cherokee National Forest and engulfed in the shadows of the wonderfully majestic Great Smoky Mountains.

Fishing

There are many fishing opportunities in the area, here are a few:

ALLEN BRANCH POND: Fishing,  wildlife viewing, interpretive signage, enjoy the sites and the sounds of a warm water pond ecosystem.

BIG PIGEON RIVER: The Big Pigeon River has been designated a state trophy.  There is a twenty(20- size limite on all smallmouth bass,

DOUGLAS LAKE:  Amain reservoir for the TVA, this lake offers many fishing opportunities.

FRENCH BROAD RIVER:  When you fish the French Broad in Tennessee be sure to fish the deeper holes in the river next to moving water, the tactic produces big smallmouth.  On the other hand, cast into swift runs and work the bait into the slackers waters.  Either tactic is deadly, and all you need is an ultralight spinning rod and reel with a medium action.  There are a lot of river lures out there that work and are deadly.  Grubs are an all-time favorite, as well as crawfish plugs.  They both imitate one of the standard food sources found in the French Braud's waters.
