Note to everyone visiting Dandridge.... Go beyond yhe RV park and lake Douglas. This area is positively dripping with history! Dandridge itself is the 2nd oldest town in TN. Also, in addition to the touristy areas mentioned by jeeepz, there are wonderful scenic drives. From jeeepz noisy Walmart, take hwy 40 south into the mountains and stop in Hattford to river raft on the Pigeon river, which feeds into Douglas Lake eventually. Or, take 25/70 east and over the mountains into Hot Springs NC. If pulling a nimble toad, unhitch and test your skills on the Dragons Tail, hwy 129. And then, there is Moonshine Tasting!... Old Tennessee, Tennessee Legends, Cocke County Distillery, Popcorn Suttons Distillery, Sugarlands Distillery, Bootleggers of Hartford....to name a few of the GOOD ones.
