Tennessee Different Geographies, Different Cultures Tennessee is a State that covers much geography — from the Smoky Mountains, a major part of the South Appalachians in the east of the State, to the rolling plains of the central parts of the state, to the Mississippi river on the western border. The State also covers many different cultural history, including a large part of African American history, American Indian history, and much of the European immigration and expansion across the continent.

Full of Things to Do Tennessee is full of things to do, and you can take advantage of the wonderfully diverse country in the state. The western border with the Mississippi gives you access to all the activities this mighty river affords, and the rivers and lakes that have been formed between the Mississippi and the Tennessee rivers make canoeing, kayaking and rafting fun, along with camping in the forests and hiking here and in the eastern mountains. Whatever you want to see and do, you will find that Tennessee will be able to find a venue for you.
Spring and Autumn Although much of Tennessee tends to be hot and humid in the middle of summer, the mountain regions are cool and temperate, and spring and autumn in the state are lovely. Winters tend to be mild but wet, but the mountains have snow and many people take advantage of the powder to go skiing.
