Each year millions of people visit
Tennessee's Cherokee National Forest. It is a place of scenic
beauty that provides opportunities for anyone interested in
nature and history. The Forest stretches from Chattanooga to
Bristol along the North Carolina border. The 640,000-acre
Cherokee National Forest is the largest tract of public land in
Tennessee. It lies in the heart of the Southern Appalachian
mountain range, one of the world's most diverse areas. These
mountains are home to more than 20,000 species of plants and
animals.
A wide variety of trails are available
on the Cherokee for almost everyone. There are trails for
hiking, horseback riding, and bicycling.
