Reviews
"Nice view but not really going to recommend it for a bucket list ."
"It's a beautiful place and relaxing even had benches to seat because it was a hot day. No one was here so we was able to go the Fishing pier . More people should come out and see. It was a old trading post for the fort across the lake. If your the area you should check it. They are slowly working on rebuilding it."
"It is not like the Ft Loudoun experience. Much quieter, less people. Parking spots could be bigger, but since it is less visited, probably not an issue."
"A very interesting and educational glimpse at the early history of Tennessee. Understand that the lake is a recent addition. Imagine how it might have looked when the Tellico river flowed free through this valley. While you are here take the time to visit the old fort across the lake and the Sequoia park nearby..."
"Super easy walk but the views are beautiful. The river is relaxing."
