    Tips

    Hiking

    Rainbow Lake Wilderness is a quiet and beautiful corner of Prentice Cooper State Forest, perfect if you enjoy moments of solitude in nature. The surrounding trails can be rocky, leading you through dense forest and past a few small streams, with Rainbow Lake itself offering a lovely spot to pause. Trails are lightly marked and can be overgrown, so having your Komoot map downloaded can be helpful.

    Running

    Rainbow Lake is surrounded by trees, and views of the actual lake are hard to come by. That being said, there are a few views on the northern side of the lake where there are breaks in the trees. This spot is close to the dam and offers a great view of the lake and waterfall created at the damming area.

    Nice to cool down at a hot summer day in Tennessee
