New Market
Close to the Douglas and Cherokee lakes, the small town of New Market is a perfect base from which to explore the rugged mountain scenery and deep forests of northwestern Tennessee. As well as fishing, boating, and swimming on the lakes themselves, the town is within range of both the Cherokee National Forest with its varied wildlife and brilliant fall color and of the Great Smokey Mountain National Park, which provides access to one of the highest and most beautiful sections of the entire Blue Ridge. The park, as well as containing the most extensive region of old-growth forest east of the Mississippi, also possesses 850 miles of hiking and biking trails, allowing visitors to explore the breathtaking montane scenery all around them. Head for the hills this vacation and check out New Market for the perfect opportunity to witness the majestic scenery of southern Appalachia.
