Whether you are traveling alone or bringing the whole family, there is plenty to enjoy in this quiet little area of east Tennessee.  

Options in the area for the whole family include the Dogwood Springs Ranch where things like guided horse trail rides in the mountains, pony rides or hayrides can be enjoyed.  Or, you can take the family to Watauga Lake - created by the Tennessee Valley Authority and also ranked as the third cleanest lakes in the U.S.  A seasonal option would be to enjoy the National Story Telling Festival, an annual event held the first weekend in October in Jonesborough, Tennessee where story tellers from around the world gather to delight their audiences.  Aside from the story telling, you may just want to visit Jonesborough since it is the "oldest town in Tennessee".

If you enjoy NASCAR or racing in general then the Bristol Motor Speedway is a must see.  At the speedway, located in nearby Bristol, Tennessee, you can enjoy a tour of the track and the dragstrip, visit the gift shop or view the many racing artifacts on display in their newly built museum.
