Crossville area Points of Interest
JP's Nascar Outlet
If you love NASCAR and have a favorite driver, then JP's NASCAR Outlet is for you! This store is huge and has a large inventory of memorabilia and collectibles for the NASCAR enthusiast.
Cumberland Mountain State Park
The Cumberland Mountain State Park is a great place to visit and eat inside the lovely restaurant overlooking the famous bridge. This park is very scenic and next to the Bear Trace Golf Club.
The Crossville area golf is the best in the state. These courses will test even the best golfers with water and lakes running along a hole or narrow fairway that doglegs to one side. Our team didn't have much trouble, but we did have a few mulligans and foot wedges used to get back in play. These courses fit the better golfer who has been playing long enough to know their shots well. If a golfer can play under 90 at their home course, they can potentially play well at these courses below. Many of these courses require tee times to be set in advance, and all have stipulations on non-club members' availability or rental equipment, so email or call ahead for any questions you may have.

A story about Crossville and me.
In the photo, I am holding my daughter up on my back and talking to my friend Ethan Hadley. Before he led the Chamber of Commerce of Cumberland county, he was the Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce president. I am the tourism guy in Lawrence county, so it was fitting I saw him when making our Amish trail. Ethan did something most presidents wouldn't do. He wanted a disc golf course, so he got chainsaws and a few volunteers and put one in. I am proud of my friend for bringing disc golf to Cumberland county at Meadow Lake Park.
We have a Tennessee Amish Map webpage showing the state of Tennessee with Amish communities and the hotel areas on one page!

The Great Smoky Mountains
The Amish in this area are few who live around the Delano area and the Tellico Plains areas. Further up the mountain range is the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area, just east of Knoxville. Here is where Tennesseans go to enjoy the mountains. This is also where you will find the entrance to the Smoky Mountains State Park and Cades Cove. The great Appalachian Trail is also found here for those who love hiking! Watersports like kayaking and white water rafting are also found in the park. Not everyone can say they have been down a mountain river on these rafts over waterfalls! For those who love wildlife, you can see all kinds of bears, boar, elk, turkey, and deer along the way. Fishing is also great, with many types of trout in the park and surrounding area. See the photos below!
