Nestled at the foot of the Cherokee National Forest in East
Tennessee, Tellico Plains is the perfect rural community. We enjoy
magnificent mountain scenery which changes with the four distinct seasons,
although the extremes are mild. Our people are fiercely independent, and
many still earn a living from small-scale agriculture. Travel directions
are often given by reference to the numerous churches throughout our area.
Outdoor activities include camping, canoeing, bicycling, world class
kayaking, boating, fishing on one of the country's premier trout rivers,
hunting, and hiking. The Cherohala Skyway is a National Scenic Byway and
one of several excellent motorcycle sightseeing routes we have through the
foothills of the Smokies. You may discover a wide variety of high quality
handcrafts reflecting our mountain, and Native American, heritage. Here you
will find a slower, yet rewarding, pace of life.
