Beautiful views aren’t hard to come by here in Tennessee. Yet many of them are popular and oftentimes crowded. Today’s destination is one such landmark that tends to fly under the radar. Bee Rock Overlook, while technically situated on private land, is open to the public between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and is well worth seeking out. With views as far as the eye can see and scenery at every turn, you’ll love adventuring to this stunning mountain overlook.

Tucked away in Putnam County awaits a breathtaking overlook everyone in Tennessee should experience at least once.

Bee Rock, which looks strikingly similar to a beehive, is accessible via a relatively easy 0.7-mile out-and-back trail.

Most hikers report that it takes about 15 minutes to get to the top. Right before reaching the main overlook, the trail gets noticeably steeper and rockier. Rest assured, though, you're almost there!
