It is Thanksgiving day, at 4:30 pm and we discovered that our 50 amp power outlet was only working on one side. That meant that our fireplace/ heater was not working on the coldest night so far with 20's forecast for tomorrow night. The new camp host, Mike, called the office and Ranger Brown was there in 15 minutes and resolved the problem. End of shift after a long day serving alone on a holiday and he never hesitated. Kudos, Kudos, Kudos. This is our 14th year at Panther Creek- even more of a favorite now.

Come her for open air movie nights and concerts, or to sit in the grass and picnic as trains go by. Not everyone likes dilapidated buildings, but I love watching the day go buy in this historic district, particularly when small works are unfolding to improve the area. This park should bring with it not only more opportunities for residents to partake of the outdoors, but also for businesses to move into a blooming district.

The signage and sights at Seven Islands make it one of Tennessee's best state parks. You can see…read moreboth mountains and marshy coastline in a relatively small state park. Cedar trees, cattails, and berry bushes are all in close proximity. The main walking path to the island is ADA compliant. If you'd like elevation, this park is on the edge of the Appalachian mountains allowing you to hike up and view the Smoky Mountains. I prefer short hikes and found many trail options. If you're a bird watcher or a novice, you're sure to learn something from the educational bird exhibits near the parking lot. Check the park's social media for educational events. This park isn't too crowded and requires back roads through neighborhoods. Indoor restrooms are available near the parking lot.

From the trailhead parking, there is a short boardwalk to a 2 tiered viewing blind. It had been vandalized on our visit, but JCRec was quick to respond to my report. It is already under repair! To the right of the lot is a 0.10-0.15 mile asphalt paved trail to another two floor viewing blind. It seems that the lower portion is ADA accessible. If you would like to add a longer walk you can head down the road past the water plant, and access the mouth of the lake. There were tons of birds out, even on a drab winter day. It is greener by the water. I now know why there are so many birds bopping around town. This refuge gives them a place to roost!

I used to bring my kids to this park fairly often when they were younger. It's a nice park for…read morechildren up to the age of about 6-7. There are two decent sized play sets, baby swings, regular swings and a zip line/monkey bar set. There is a nice pavilion with tables and benches in the middle of the park that people use for picnics, birthday parties and just escaping the heat. Beside the pavilion is a small splash pad with some changing rooms that is ideal for kids up to about 5 or 6. There is another smaller pavilion inside the splash pad that has about 2 or 3 benches. Behind the splash pad is a basketball court and two tennis courts. The downsides to the park: * One of the biggest is that there isn't any natural shade so it gets really hot in the summer * Once your child reaches about age 8, they've pretty much outgrown the splash pad and playground area so the only places left to play are the basketball court and tennis courts that have no pavilion or trees for natural shade so again, those areas get unbearably hot on summer days. * The bathrooms are pretty far off to the side of the park and they aren't always well stocked with toilet paper, soap, towels or a hand dryer. They also have no circulation in them so they feel like a sauna, even on cooler days. All in all, it's a decent park if you're looking for a place for your little one to run around and get some energy out for a little while.

Everyone is sociable and friendly. And it was such a treat to walk around the Skymart. Although, I should tell you that it's really an overhead sidewalk with few doors leading anywhere. So instead of coming up for the 'stores upstairs' you should really walk up for some pretty views. And they are pretty. The courthouse is really big here. Really big. And you can detour down to the plot of Davy Crockett's boyhood home. Of course it's a replica but it's definitely worth seeing the site of his boyhood home. And I drove around looking for the cabin from The Evil Dead (it's a cult thing). Who would have thought it was here the entire time!? I guess I'll have to make another trip to Morristown and uncover more goodies here. I just don't want any evil dead atrocities to befall me. I'll come in daylight only, okay?

Dual entrance- Restrooms and covered bleachers for us caretakers- Lots of room to run-- Love this park for our furbabies!! Be careful as the dogs that were here jumped all over me and stained my white pants and scratched my arm. It wasn't the furbabies fault it's the owners. No control over their dogs once your in the fenced area. I even seen where that owner didn't clean up after their dogs mess.

Well this was a surprise! Since moving to Tennesee, I have been looking for a good dog park. When…read moreasking for the location of just such a place, people usually scratch their head. "Why do you need a park for a dog? Don't he run on your farm?" Well, yes, but, you see, I come from a land where dog truly was man's best friend, and thus we got to go everywhere together, even bars. It is hard to admit to you, but I got addicted. Real bad. Now I can't stop adventuring and exercising with my dogs. Yahoo! We only found out about this little gem by driving past a sign. We did a quick U-turn to investigate. We found that someone (or some group) in Morristown clearly loves dogs. A lot of care was put into this dog park, which is in a converted ball field. The saplings are still growing, but the night lights are already installed (switch is near the entrance gate) and the dugouts have been converted to shaded seating areas. They have a box of toys hanging on the fence, a kiddie pool right next to a hose, and multiple doggie bag stations. We used the kiddie pool to wet down our big guy after a long hot day at the people park. We plan to add some toys to the box, and pick up after our dog, to show Morristown they made a great decision to open this dog-gone-Mecca. I hope that more dog friends find their way over here now, and take care of it like these folks are!
