Duck Crossing is a great place to shop for antiques and other collectibles. It is set up like other stores with booths filled with different items. Lots of glasses and tableware, small collection of clothes and shoes, tons of kitchen items. My sister found a pair of throwback converse brand new in the original box. 3 floors to explore. Super helpful staff.
3. Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 125 reviews
This park is a great balance between the brief but ever-so important history of Sycamore Shoals and great hiking. There are points along the trail to help hikers understand what occurred at Sycamore Shoals and why it was so important. This park also has an amphitheater which hosts all sorts of events. More information on this park and many more can be found at the TN State Parks website.

Frequent reenactments - some free, some with a charge (Liberty). These are always fun and the reenactors are very knowledgeable. The fort is well maintained as well as the trail. Sometimes when the reenactors are there you can go inside the fort buildings and they'll tell you about the life of those who lived there and answer questions about the buildings, life and people of that time. The trail is level with a few areas with some roots, but nothing that should cause a problem. The trail goes near water and has a little exercise area and a wooden swing as well. My favorite time to walk the trail is spring, but it is enjoyable year round. We frequently take visiting family here and they all have a good time.

Do not miss this freebie. Stunningly beautiful, one of the best I've seen. Romance is in the air. The parking is not clearly marked, and the short path leading to the fall is full of tree roots so be careful. But once you get there inner contentment you'll find. The path leading to the overlook is a must see also, not as heavily traveled, and about half the distance. Take your camera, you'll need it.
