culture & recreation

There are several recreational opportunities in the greater Knox area; hiking, boating with our closeness to the Great Smoky Mountains. Tourist traffic can be a problem, but they are focused on the main drives & if you get off the main road- you can have area all to yourself.
Knoxville has a great variety of city/county parks as well and is developing a greenway/biketrail. Unfortunately, like much of america- urban sprawl runs rampant here. One township, Farragut has maintained tighter controls on that ugly beast.
University of Tennessee also adds a lot to the cultural experiences in Knoxville - beyond the athletics that most folks flock to.
