Looking for a perfect little getaway in Tennessee? As you surely know, the state is positively filled with quaint, charming towns, but one of our particular favorites is Cleveland, Tennessee. And yup, we think it can rival a more famous town with the same moniker.

Located 35 miles northeast of Chattanooga, this vibrant city basically has everything. Thrill-seekers will jump at the white water rafting options here; the 1996 Olympics even held its canoe and kayak events on the nearby local river. Those who enjoy the quieter pace of nature will delight in the nearby hikes. And of course, the town itself boasts plenty of historic sites, countless delicious restaurants, unique shopping places, and wineries and breweries to end the day with. Enjoy this itinerary of Cleveland and the surrounding areas including the neighboring Polk County, to have a jam-packed Tennessee adventure.

First off, start your day on the Ocoee River! People come from all over to white water raft here, as the river features Class 3 and 4 rapids.

Does rafting sound a little too extreme? Don't worry, there is plenty of hiking in the area so you can still get your outdoors on, albeit more peacefully.
