Relive the westward movement by taking a trip to the Cumberland Gap National Historic Park. Trek the largely unblemished land that was once occupied by pioneers and natives. Evidence of the area’s settlers can be found on a guided Hensley Settlement tour. Buildings erected at the turn of the 19th century still stand and make the settlement tour one-of-a-kind. A Gap Cave Tour can take you under the surface for a hike unlike any other. This two-hour cave adventure is inexpensive and makes for a great story to re-tell around the cabin camp fire. Above the surface, wildlife is abundant and countless species of fish, mammals and birds can be found throughout the park. 80 miles of backcountry trails lead visitors to rarely seen rock formations and cold mountain streams.
Known as one of the best float streams in Tennessee, Powell River flows through beautiful undeveloped valley and offers anglers excellent rock, smallmouth and black bass fishing. Access to the river is only about ten minutes from your Speedwell lodge or cabin. For canoeing and kayaking, the river provides a leisurely paddle suitable for beginners. Take a deep breath as you drift through quiet meadows and colorful Tennessee woodland.
Take a short drive into Middlesboro, KY for great shopping and dining. For gifts, books and just about anything else you can think of, you’ll want to stop by Middlesboro Mall. The mall even includes a cinema if you want to catch the latest flick. If you came to visit the Cumberland Gap park, you need to grab a bite at Shades Steakhouse.
