With its mild weather, beautiful scenery, stunning State and National Parks and access to world class golf, fishing and other water sports, Tennessee truly has something for everyone. When you consider practicalities like the state’s low cost of living and lack of income tax, it really is the perfect place to live.
There are hundreds of great places to visit. Let’s start with Nashville where you can visit The Country Music Hall of Fame, The General Jackson Showboat and Opryland. In Memphis, there’s Graceland (former home of Elvis Presley), the Mississippi River Museum and Beale Street, famous for the blues. In Chattanooga you can see Raccoon Mountain Caverns, Ruby Falls at Lookout Mountain with its famous Incline Railway and, of course, the Chattanooga Choo Choo. Knoxville is home to a great historic district and an impressive zoo. Southeastern Tennessee offers Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Dollywood for a variety of family entertainment.
Hunting is a Tennessee tradition that for generations has attracted both residents and visitors to the state’s woods and waters. Tennessee abounds with excellent small game populations including rabbit, squirrel, and quail. Waterfowl include Canadian geese, duck and wild turkey. The whitetail deer is Tennessee’s number one game animal. Outstanding nearby fishing areas include Center Hill Lake, Fall Creek Falls State Park, Dale Hollow Lake, as well as the Collins, Rocky and Caney Fork Rivers, to name just a few. You’ll enjoy the challenge of catching “the big one” whether it’s large mouth bass, blue gill, channel catfish, or rainbow trout.
Yes! Many of your new “friends” and “neighbors” at The River Club will have paws or hoofs, fur or feathers and some of the brightest and sharpest eyes you could ever hope to see. It really doesn’t take very long to become extremely attached to and very protective of your new friends and neighbors. Our hardwood forests are also home to red and gray fox, raccoon, squirrel, coyote and wild turkey.
If you are from someplace like Chicago, with its freezing, windy winters, you are in for a delightful surprise when you come to Tennessee. The city of Crossville, which is only a half an hour from The River Club, has an average temperature of 84º in July, the hottest month of the year. The coldest month of the year in Tennessee is January, where the average temperature is still 44º.
