7 Things to take Fall in Knoxville to the Next Level

 

Can you believe it is fall already?  We have prepared a quick list of things that you and your family may enjoy doing this fall here in the Knoxville area!  We hope that this is your best fall ever.

1. TAKE A HIKE.

With The Great Smoky Mountains National Park in our backyard there are endless opportunities for walking and hiking.  Check out the wildflowers, cascading streams, the scent of evergreens, and the sounds of birds.  These are best seen and experienced away from roads.  For this reason, the National Park Service maintains 800 miles of trails here.

2. GO ON A FOOD TOUR.

Participate in a guided walking tour through Historic Downtown Knoxville.  Hear the history of some of Knoxville’s most notable districts, sample food and drink from locally owned restaurants, and meet the people who bring this unique culinary scene together.  Visit knoxvillefoodtours.com for more information.

3. EXPERIENCE A UT FOOTBALL GAME.

We had to say it.  We do live in Orange Country!  The VOLS play South Carolina here at Neyland Stadium on Nov. 7th.  Take your family and have a blast!

4. VISIT A PUMPKIN PATCH & CORN MAZE.
