Hiking Near the Venue - Buzzard Roost via Stone Mountain Trail
The trail head is located on the opposite side of the street from a pull over. The pull over is on the river side of the road. The trail head is difficult to see it is approximately 50 to 100 feet to the right of the parking area with your back to the river.. There’s a very steep narrow start. It is highly recommend bringing a set of trekking poles with you for the descent.
Hiking Near the Venue - Grotto Falls
Accessed via the Trillium Gap Trailhead, the Grotto Falls Trail is a moderately easy hike that is a family favorite. There is ample shade throughout the hike, lots of small streams, wildlife, and during the right time of year — plentiful wildflowers. Starting near the base of Piney Mountain, this trail to Grotto Falls can be busier during the warmer months and the parking area is limited so it’s recommended to get there early. While the falls are not big, it’s a wonderful place to picnic for lunch or dip your feet on a hot day.
White Water Rafting
There are so many options in Tennessee for white water rafting. If you've never done it, it is SO fun. There are a bunch of companies out of Cosby, TN which is just 20 minutes south of the wedding venue.
