The spectacular view visitors get from
the top of 6,285 foot-tall peak of Roan Mountain in Tennessee is only
one reason to visit this beautiful area. The lush, scenic Tennessee
forests are home to abundant wildlife and countless opportunities for
of outdoor adventure. Visitors can hike, enjoy the trees and wildflowers,
fish for trout, or take part in the numerous activities available at
Roan Mountain State Park at the mountain’s base.
Guests who want to spend the night on Roan Mountain are spoilt for choices!
RV and tent camping is available in the park and in other areas, as
are AAA cabins. The Appalachian Trail and gorgeous Rhododendron Gardens
of Roan Mountain can both be accessed at nearby Carver's Gap.
The Doe River originates on Roan Mountain. This small Tennessee river
is cool enough to be a year-round home to 3 species of trout: Native
brook trout, Rainbow trout and Brown trout. These game fish species
are stocked by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. A Tennessee
fishing license is required to fish in the Doe River. |
