Things To Do

Sunset Rock

If you would like to experience some time in fall foliage via a gorgeous view, consider taking a hike around Sunset Rock. There trails around the area with varying degrees of difficulty. The photo of Pepper on this page was taken at Sunset Rock.

Tennessee Aquarium

A great aquarium stretching between two buildings - one focuses on river and wetland aquatic life and the other oceanic.
