Hiwassee River Road
Sun-dappled forests surround TN 30 as it follows Hiwassee State Scenic River to the historic community of Reliance. Cross the bridge and turn east to Forest Road 108. Climb the mountain to Big Bend and Apalachia Powerhouse. Pack a picnic and enjoy the views from Hood Mountain overlook and other spectacular sites along the corridor. Stop to stretch your legs or spend the day on John Muir National Recreation Trail #152. From Reliance, TN 30 continues through the community of Greasy Creek to US 64, Ocoee Scenic Byway. "Such a river is the Hiwassee, with its surface broken to a thousand sparkling gems, and its forest walls vine-draped and flowery as Eden. And how fine the songs it sings!” John Muir
