Briefly about the general area:
Little Bend is an interesting location to take a look at while at Cain Creek. This is a popular place for people from Signal Mountain, and you must unquestionably explore Big Bend while here. This is a great river. Going for a hike on the Hardy Trail is always a great adventure. Booker T. Washington State Park is a wonderful place; do schedule some time to stop at Redbird Point if you have a chance. Everybody loves Harrison Bay State Park.
