Hike to the remains of Caney Creek Village, Tennessee in the Cherokee National Forest.

Hike to the remains of Caney Creek Village, Tennessee in the Cherokee National Forest.

Begin at 1,604 feet elevation and hike down to 840 feet elevation to see the remains of Caney Creek Village, then hike back up. This village existed from 1912-1941. It had electricity, indoor plumbing, mass transit, a lighted tennis court and a hotel. It’s known as the only community in America that never had a vehicle or horse in the community. The remains are visible because the concrete foundations were made of the same grade of concrete as the dams on the Ocoee.  Members of the community built the flume along the Ocoee. Moderate 6 miles.
