Nestled in the northeast corner of Tennessee nearing the Cherokee National Forest, Piney Flats is a secluded small town with a rural feel. Affordable apartments and single-family homes are spread out across this city’s pastoral land. Piney Flats is home to Boone Lake, where boating, fishing, and swimming are popular. Lakeview Marina isn’t just a boat ramp; it’s a fishing dock, restaurant, and bar that’s known for late-night live music!
Winged Deer Park sits just outside of Piney Flats’ city lines, offering sprawling green space, athletic fields, a disc golf course, and paved trails. History buffs should check out the quaint Rocky Mount State Historic Site, a living history museum with costumed actors and exhibits. Piney Flats sits nearly two hours northeast of Knoxville and a little over an hour north of Asheville, North Carolina.
