Jefferson County, Tennessee
Jefferson County is perched in East Tennessee, not far from Knoxville. It has mountains and lakes galore. Cherokee and Douglas Lakes are local hotspots. Fishing, boating, anything water.
The Great Smoky Mountains loom in the distance. They’re always showing off. Dandridge, the county seat, is the second-oldest town in Tennessee. The downtown’s full of old buildings with stories to tell.
Carson-Newman University calls this place home. Farms and forests cover much of the land. But Douglas Lake basically occupies the southeaster region. It’s a pretty place, no doubt about it.
