Nice spot to walk along Tennessee river. Here you can find Maude Moore's cave with two entrances. It is also in front of Otter Island, so it isn't difficult to see some of these animals at dusk.

Lovely views, quiet in the mornings.
Rock stairs on the Tower trail are a wonderful CCC- esque element.
