The 520,000 acre preserve will host a huge celebration including the Knoxville Symphony concert and Senator Lamar Alexander. The park which straddles the Tennessee, North Carolina border attracts more than 9 million visitors a year, twice as many as any other national park.
President Franklin Roosevelt dedicated the park in 1940 and stated, "We shall conserve these trees... the trout and the thrush for the happiness of the American people". Its has been the goal of the park managers to keep that promise and to keep the forest similar to the way it looked when Native Americans used the land. The parks is home to 100,000 species of plants and animals, including elk, black bear and trout.
The area around the park has grown rapidly over the past few years. Tellico Lake in Eastern Tennessee is now home to many lovely communities, that have taken great care to preserve the natural beauty of the area. James Mann, one of the developers of a nearby community, The Ridges at Tellico Lake says what attracted him to the area was the beauty and history of the Great Smoky Mountains. "Having this gorgeous national park near our community is a great attraction for our buyers. Just a short drive away and they are in an American treasure. Our community offers spectacular views of the Smoky Mountains from our homes. If it were not for the vision of the people that worked so hard to preserve our heritage, the beauty of our community and the area would not be here today", states Mann.
We offer large estate size home sites and fractional ownership of gorgeous log and timber homes, that blend in with the environment and offer fantastic views of the majestic Smoky Mountains of Eastern Tennessee. The location of our site and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park is perfect for families from all over the east, south and midwest. Within a days drive of the entire region, its natural beauty and great history it is no wonder the park is America's number one national park attraction", adds Mann.
