Briefly about the general area: Hineman Spring is a good local attraction, and Little Soddy Creek is near Harrison Bay State Park which is a lovely site. But wait, there's more entertaining things to do in the Cumberland Plateau Mountains. Iris Lovelady Spring is always fun to check out; when you're here it's always fun to explore Booker T. Washington State Park. This is a really good river. You'll meet a lot of folks from Soddy Daisy here, and do schedule some time to check out Clemmons Point if you have a chance.
