Adventure Notes

Extreme Tailgating

Sometimes the hottest ticket in town is not to the game, it's to a prime tailgating spot. From Memphis to Johnson City, Tennessee football fans know how to throw a party. You'll be amazed by the innovative ideas, the fantastic food and the endless energy of these pre- and post-game celebrations. Get ready to cheer for your favorite team: slap on that face paint and let your colors fly! It's football time in Tennessee!

Trout Stream and Tailwaters

Hone your stealthy approach, concentration and patience in the pastoral settings of Tennessee's beautiful waters. Angle the Clinch, Hiwassee, Holston, Duck, Obey and Watauga rivers. Anticipate native wild Brook, chunky, fat Rainbow and Brown trout!
