Welcome To Fentress County,
Tennessee!
We invite you to browse our site
for a taste of what Fentress County has to offer. With a county
population of under 17,000, moderate climate, growing equestrian
community, and plenty of gorgeous views and rich history, Fentress
County is a unique and diverse area. Whether you come for a
short visit, extended stay, or choose to make your home here
- you're going to love the beautiful scenery and peaceful lifestyle
we appreciate so much.
Fentress County is located on the
Cumberland Plateau, and sits on the eastern most section of
Middle Tennessee. Operating on Central Time, our neighbors to
the east of us refer to us as being on "slow time".
Most
new residents are moving from urban areas and the southern coastal
states. More folks are coming to appreciate the beauty and serene
atmosphere of life on the plateau, here in "Big South Fork
Country". Having easy access to Big South Fork National
River & Recreation Area, Pickett State Park, and Dale Hollow
Lake; residents and visitors alike are enjoying country
living.
Fentress
County is known as the Trail Riding Capital of the Southeast
to the equestrian community with hundreds of acres of trails,
overlooks, unique geological formations, and waterfalls. Many
horse campgrounds, cabins, and stables are located in the county
and in and around the parks.
You're sure to find something to
keep you as busy or relaxed as you'd like with activities such
as horseback riding, hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, ATV riding,
camping, rafting, canoeing, swimming, shopping, exploring, and
visiting local sites and attractions. Whether you explore by
foot, horseback, boat, ATV, car, or RV - you're going to love
this place!
Although
tourism is a huge part of the local economy, agriculture also
has its place. The gently rolling land is conducive to cattle
and other farm animals and is well watered by creeks and ponds.
