Nature
For nature lovers, there's no better place than Jackson County.
Jackson County has some of the finest flora and fauna in the state as well as some very unique features such as
the oldest and largest stand of native Chestnut trees in the country, a major impact crater,
a natural bridge and "The Boils" where a portion of The Roaring River resurfaces after going underground to name just a few.
Since we just can't list everything here you'll just have to come and have fun discovering it all for yourself.
Visit the Cordell Hull WMA, Cummins Falls State Park, Roaring River Park, Salt Lick Creek Park, or Wartrace Creek Recreational Area.
All of this combines to make Jackson County
"The Natural place to be"
