Union County, Tennessee

Union Location Map Tennessee

Union County sits northeast of Knoxville in the Tennessee Valley. This is where you’ll find Big Ridge State Park, which is a favorite spot for camping and hiking.

Norris Lake takes up a good chunk of the county with some prime fishing and boating. The area has a rich musical heritage. Roy Acuff, the King of Country Music, was born here.

Farming is still a way of life for many. The rolling hills make for some pretty drives. Maynardville is the county seat and has that classic small-town friendliness. This is simple living at its finest.
