In a small town you may have to 'settle' for laid back activites such
as hiking, horseback riding, touring the magnificent Smokies,
spleunking, geocaching, naturistic sightseeing, bluegrass, daylily
and old-timer craft festivals, and the most popular being riding a
tube for hours on end! The Little River runs the entire length of
Townsend and we are proud to have a three mile bike/walking
trail ... lighted! A new and very popular arrival to our little town
is the Great Smoky Mountain Heritage Center and I'll see that you
get FREE tickets to tour, just ask! Ahhhh.... relaxation for a
change!
'Genesis' is only 7 miles from historic Cades Cove, where you'll find
yourself slowing down for the deer to cross in front of your car!
The leisurely 12-mile trek will leave you awestricken as you take a
walk down memory lane ... life was simple, no subdivisions, no
factories, no job worries, no phones, etc. Just you and nature,
clear blue skies touching the gorgeous mountain range in the
distance. Untouched, luscious fields laid out before you with
abundant deer and wild turkey. Not to mention sighting the
occasional mamma bear with her adorable little cubs off in the
distance. Tour an old school house, church or mill and imagine how
life once was. What an experience. Nature in its truest form, the
way it was intended!
