点评:We had a 4 day stay in the historic cabins in the east side if the park. This park is divided into east and west sections with the TVA Norris dam and reservoir dividing the 2 parts. The main head quarters, laundry facility, marina and modern cabins are in the west while the historic CCC cabins, tea house are in the east. Both sides have a campground and hiking trails.
We chose cabin 8 because it is a bit more seperated from the other cabins which sit on a small one way loop road. However cabin 8 does sit immediately adjacent to a major trailhead parking lot. Convenient to go hiking but you will some company during the day.
The cabin was clean and rustic with a stone fireplace, queen bed (linens provided), small bathroom with shower and a small kitchen with cooking utensils provided. The electric stove burners didnt work until I reconnected them. Minor issue. The bed was comfy and the AC worked well during our stay when it was in the 90s.
The trails are wonderful with a good variety of types and difficulty levels. BUT...they are in need of some upkeep. The trailhead kiosks have outdated maps which do not agree with the maps given out at the headquarters, several trails are not listed. Trail signage and blazes are frequently missing. We came across several trails that were not on either map and we had no idea where they led. The maps from the park HQ
were very small print so old folks like me need your reading glasses.
The dam was very interesting and you can walk or drive over it for some views of the lake and marina. There is a small TVA visitor center at the dam with some short info movies and exhibits, also bathrooms. There are 2 overlook points just off the hiway on either side of the dam. There is also the 2 mile loop Birdsong trail just below the dam with views of the Clinch river.
The town of Rocky Top is about 5 miles from the park and has most of the services and stores you may need. Grumpabears bbq on main street is very good casual place.
翻译:我们在公园东侧的历史悠久的小屋里住了四天。田纳西河谷管理局诺里斯水坝和水库将公园分为东西两部分。公园总部、洗衣设施、码头和现代化小屋位于西侧,而历史悠久的CCC小屋和茶馆位于东侧。公园两侧均设有露营地和徒步小径。
我们选择8号小屋是因为它与其他小屋的距离稍远一些,其他小屋位于一条小型单行环路上。不过,8号小屋紧邻一个主要的步道起点停车场。方便徒步旅行,但白天也需要有人陪伴。
小屋干净质朴,配有石砌壁炉、一张大床(提供床单)、带淋浴的小浴室以及一个带炊具的小厨房。电炉的炉头在我重新接通后才开始工作。这只是个小问题。床很舒服,我们入住期间,空调运行良好,当时温度大约在90华氏度左右。
这些步道非常棒,类型和难度级别都多种多样。但是……它们需要一些维护。步道入口处的售货亭提供的地图已经过时,与总部提供的地图不一致,有几条步道没有列出。步道标识和路标经常缺失。我们遇到了几条地图上都没有的步道,我们不知道它们通向哪里。公园总部的地图
字号很小,所以像我这样的老人需要戴老花镜。
大坝非常有趣,您可以步行或驾车穿过它,欣赏湖泊和码头的景色。大坝上有一个小型田纳西河谷管理局 (TVA) 游客中心,里面放映一些简短的介绍影片和展览,还有卫生间。大坝两侧的高速公路旁各有两个观景台。大坝下方还有一条 2 英里长的环形鸟鸣步道,可以欣赏克林奇河的景色。
洛基托普镇距离公园约 5 英里,提供您可能需要的大部分服务和商店。主街上的 Grumpabears 烧烤店是一个非常好的休闲场所。
