Picnic Ideas in Northern Tennessee
Almost everyone who travels knows of the many choices of activities to do near the Smokey Mountains including Gatlinburg area. Just a bit north of Gatlinburg is Greeneville, TN which has notable history. President Andrew Johnson began his political career in this town. He lived in Greeneville a lot of his adult life here.
When thinking of activities to do near Greeneville, there local parks for picnicking, kids playgrounds, and also 100+ acre McMillian Catfish Farm just outside of Greeneville where people can bring their horses to ride the hills, fish in several catfish ponds that are open to the public.
There are several marked trails for hiking also. These are not difficult trails at all nor are they not flat trails, you'll be walking/hiking but a good incline some of the time. There is plenty of trail room too. You won't be on a skinny path, so there is plenty of room for all people.
At the top of the hills there are plenty of panoramic views for people to stop and rest with possible a summer picnic. This is just the ideal place to bring your picnic backpack set for a day hike. Bring plenty of extra bottled water.
On really hot days, you could bring that picnic backpack set with a waterproof blanket and settle down in the lower, cooler area for your summer picnic under the trees.
One point I'd like to add, there would be no fear of bears in the area. You might see some wild turkey in the afternoon, a bunny hopping across your path or a deer in the morning.
So if you are in the NE Tennessee area, and are looking for something to do, pack your picnic backpack set and set your sights on McMillian Catfish Farm. Bring your fishing poles too, for a day of fishing. Please see the home site for McMillian Catfish Farms for further information.
