Interesting Things to See in Hancock County:

Quilt Trail

If you take a drive down almost any road in Hancock County, you can see evidence of our quilt trail. The trail starts up in Ohio and extends down into Tennessee, where we have numerous quilt squares hanging on our local barns and other buildings. They are painted on plywood by local school children and other Sneedville residents. Clinch Star

Elrod Falls

Elrod Falls consists of three cascading falls of more than 100 feet, making it one of the most gorgeous waterfalls in East Tennessee.

You can swim in the pools at the base of the falls, hike one of the surrounding trails or bring along a picnic lunch while surrounded by the lush beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. Elrod Falls
