. Knoxville, Oak Ridge, Dayton, and Chattanooga are all located in this valley. This photo was taken at Cove Lake State Park in Caryville. The lake is part of Norris Lake. Other than Reelfoot Lake in west Tennessee, there are no large, natural lakes in the state. There is a joke in Tennessee that all we have in our state are "dammed" lakes! :)
Sandstone often erodes into interesting shapes like this Giant's Foot near the edge of a cliff at Fall Creek Falls.
This beautiful "accordion-pleat" canyon has been cut by the many streams at Fall Creek Falls State Park. Much like the Grand Canyon, it has taken eons for the water to erode through the thick layers of sandstone.
