Lafollette

The city of LaFollette, Tennessee, is thriving metropolitan area that has managed to remain deeply rooted in tradition and community. The city known as the “Gateway to Norris Lake” sits surrounded by striking Cumberland Mountains and waterways that lead into the famed Norris Lake. Originally founded in 1890, the area grew rapidly due to its plethora of natural resources, transforming from a small settlement to a large town within a few short years after being founded. The once tiny community remained warm and welcoming every step of the way. The city boasts the modern amenities of a booming city but the warm atmosphere of a small town. Less than an hour outside of the city of Knoxville, LaFollette has become an alternative to the bustling, fast-paced metropolis. With the natural beauty of the area combined with rich outdoor recreation culture, the area is a hotspot for tourism. The Cumberland Mountain Range offers ideal winter sports challenges for skiers as well as camping and fishing opportunities during the warmer months.
