Knox County off I-40 W and Exit 407 towards Sevierville/Pigeon Forge from Greeneville. Knoxville TN Headed to the airport to spend the day in the Everglades before my cruise today. Airline cancelled my flight, so found this place on google since I now had 6 hours to kill. Beautiful area; boast of 148 Bird Species; the French Board River is at the treeline. Hundreds of sparrows with little effort, mockingbirds, towhees, cards and jays, woodpeckers, and the usual songbirds. Found a pair of Hawks high above an open field going down to the boat launch area. Trails were cleared, but had to walk through briers. Had a great hour or so, before the sun came out and melted the snow and it got a bit muddy in places. Coming down a steep hill, I fell and broke my ankle, thus ending my day, FL and my cruise. But great place and I'll be back again as they say Spring and the Breeding Season are the best. Get a chance, go and visit. Nata Jackson
