You can also go up the trail at the bald river Falls. Walk up and stick your feet in the water and skip rocks and look for arrow heads. Very beautiful. And Etowah has a drive in theatre. It's fun!i actually have a family member from the civil war in the tellico museum
Tellico is my second home. I've got so much family there it isn't funny lol fr. I miss it cuz I partailly grew up there too. I miss the cherohala Skyway, bald river Falls, tellico beach. Lightening bugs , I miss McMinn county too.
I used to live in Etowah, TN. Some days I miss the laid back lifestyle. I just did not like that I had to drive an hour to get to any useful infrastructure.
Everyone on my channel says...ohhh, we eaht to move to Gatlinburg!! There's a difference between living here in Gatlinburg and taking a trip here.. trust me.. ive lived here 30 yrs . originally from Newport RI...1 grocery store with 16mil guests 😂😂
I just recently visited Tellico Plains and love the small Town!! I was wondering if all of the shops downtown stay open during the winter. Do you know?
I'm not aware of anything closing for the winter. The fly shop is open fewer days but they're affected more by the season change than some of the other shops.
Chevy, as someone that loves the Smokies (but not the crowds), would this be an alternative without all the tourism? I plan on retiring to East TN in a few years. I have friends telling me to visit Tellico Plains, i have yet to do it. Are there any hospitals in the area, I am not getting any younger lol
Definitely less crowded but not much healthcare in that area. You’d be driving to the surrounding towns a lot of things. That’s the trade off of a small rural town.

Sweetwater Hospital is a great small hospital for excellent primary care. We have a lot to offer with many internists and specialists practicing there. I’ve worked there for 30 years. My children were born there.
@chevyemert5655 hey Chevy! Just watched the video and wanted to provide an update, Trout Mountain coffee shop is still very much open! Also, thanks for the shoutout! Hopefully River Road will be open again this Spring!
He mentions Indian Boundary Campground...one of the best campgrounds in Tennessee...must visit..

I’ve actually fished above bald river falls. We hiked back about a mile and a half. It was very cool!
Great video! Come visit sometime 🎉
Tella Cafe has been omitted
Keep in mind, Bald River Falls bridge, for the next several months, is being rebuilt.
Great point!
Telecafe Restaurant is excellent...on main road near Hardees..
Hwy 129 "Tail Of The Dragon" highway is nearby...

Etowah has a hospital, my dad was born there. My cousins also. Etowah is just the next town over, bit far at all.

How about Fairfield Glade?
It’s nice in Fairfield glad. It’s more of a golf/retirement community if you’re into that.
Would I get strong internet access in Tellico Plains?
It would very much depend on where you are.
Tds offers fiber in town but most of the rural areas just have dsl cell phone coverage is very limited
Tellico has a new restaurant called the peach street grill its very good and the trout mountain coffee shop is for sale last I heard
@@shaft301 Thanks for the update. The coffee shop closed down right after I started the video.
