<p>It’s the South, you can easily do whatever you want outdoors. The Smokies are a short drive (relative) away with plenty of great trails. Tons of nice fly fishing spots nearby, you can sail at Piercy Priest, short drive to some good class rapids, etc…
If you end up being just completely lost once you get here, either go talk to those Outdoor Recreation people or do the even smarter thing and talk to the locals at Cumberland Transit, the closest small outdoor store (West End near Apple Mart).</p>
