Welcome to Tennessee Overhill – Southeast Tennessee’s center for outdoor adventure, whitewater rafting, scenic beauty, history and heritage. Four rivers, four lakes, nine museums, two national scenic byways, two scenic train excursions, two state parks, heritage trails, historic sites, one-of-a-kind attractions, Cherokee National Forest, and small towns with places to eat, shop, and spend the night – all tucked into the southeastern corner of Tennessee.

Springtime in the Tennessee Overhill
Spring is here. Whitewater rafting season has begun. Waterfalls are showing off. Wildflowers are popping up from the forest floor. Redbuds and dogwoods are draping the roadsides and hillsides with color. The mountains, rivers and trails beckon us to round up our hiking boots, mountain bikes, and cameras, and get back to nature. Springtime in the Overhill is also seedtime in the Overhill. That means shopping for heirloom plants, garden décor, and hand crafted furniture for home and yard. Explore our small towns and crossroads communities to find perennial plant nurseries, shops, galleries, places to eat, and overnight accommodations.
