McEwen

McEwen once made it into the Guinness Book of Records for the world’s largest barbecue. However, for visitors to this small town in Humphreys County in western Tennessee, it will be another type of outdoors event that catches their interest. The nearby Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge by Kentucky Lake, the largest artificial lake in the USA east of the Mississippi on the borders of Tennessee and Kentucky, is one of the best sites to see migrating birds and year-round waterfowl in the region, making it a must for birdwatchers and walkers. Others will enjoy the peaceful charm of hiking in the surrounding countryside and soaking up the atmosphere of small-town life, far from the madding crowds of the city. For those who still crave urban sophistication, nearby Nashville will provide all the excitement you need.
