Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Sewanee?

Accepted Answer

You'll want to explore nearby Chattanooga. What's 35 miles when you have your own rental car? The drive there is half the fun! Tennessee Aquarium, Ruby Falls and Chattanooga Riverfront alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Scottsboro, 35 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Unclaimed Baggage Center. (But we're also big fans of Goose Pond Colony Golf Course and Scottsboro Boys Museum and Cultural Center.)
