Tennessee River

Perry County, bordered on the western boundary by the Tennessee River, offers recreational activities for the boater, fisherman, and hunter.  Camping is available at Mousetail State Park, also situated on the River.

This is a view of the Tennessee River from Lady's Bluff, a nature walking trail open to the public.

Mousetail State Park

 Mousetail State Park is located on the Tennessee River in Perry County.  Overnight camping is available, and in the summer the park rangers have special events.  Fishing and boating are very popular.

Double Stack Iron Furnace

The Cedar Grove Iron Furnace is the last remaining double stack iron furnace on the Western Highland Rim.  The historical significance is that it was shelled by the Union troops early in the Civil War, and it was never reconstructed after that.

Mennonite Community

There is a large Mennonite community in the Lobelville area of Russell Creek and Cane Creek, with a lovely bed & breakfast, as well as a bulk food store across the road on Rt. 438.  You can visit and purchase goods directly from the Mennonites on Russell Creek.
