BerettaFest Caryville, TN Proposed Itinerary
BerettaFest Caryville, TN Proposed Itinerary:
Caryville, TN is located approximately 30 miles North of Knoxville TN and 1.5 hours from Pigeon Forge TN directly off of Interstate 75. Caryville is in Campbell County TN which has an abundance of outdoor recreation activities and is a major attraction for hiking, boating, hunting, fishing, and sightseeing. Campbell County TN is home to part of the Cumberland trail which is a popular hiking trail across the easter US and also Norris Lake which is the US latest man made lake consisting of 800 miles of shoreline. Below are some ideas, but there are many options such as boat rentals and spending a day on Norris Lake or hiking some a small section of the Cumberland Trail. There is so much to do and enjoy without having the hustle and bustle of a full itinerary. If agreed upon, this could be altered to a more relaxing BFest!
