Little Cedar Mountain Small Wild Area Trail

Little Cedar Mountain Trail is located about 3 miles northwest of Nickajack Dam. One of the few TVA trails that is rated difficult because of steep climbs and trail length. But don’t let that stop you, because the view from the overlook is well worth the trek. There is a vernal pond there, meaning that the pond goes dry and it does not support fish. It does support some amphibians though, so expect to see frogs and salamanders. Along the way, you can see an old stone wall that at one time stretched several miles along the shoreline.

The Little Cedar Mountain (LCM) trail is 3 mile loop with a connecting pond trail that is 1 mile long.

Sweetens Cove Golf Club

Sweetens Cove Golf Club, the hand-crafted masterpiece by King-Collins Golf Course Design, is considered by multiple architecture critics as being the best nine-hole golf course in the United States. In addition, Sweetens Cove received the highest average rating of ALL golf courses in Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana in The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, v. 2.

"I have never had more people tell me to play a course than Sweetens Cove in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. Once you begin your round, you find course conditions that would rival many of the top courses in the country. The massive undulating greens are smooth as glass and very firm. The fairways are fast and cut tight, similar to what you’d find in the UK and the bunkers are all in excellent shape. After a few holes you realize the caliber of championship golf and think, 'I’ve got to tell everyone about this…' At that point you’ve accidentally joined the Sweetens Cove cult." – Graylyn Loomis, Assistant Editor, Links Magazine
