🌄 Introducing the New Grainger County Visitors Guide & VisitGraingerTN.com

Last Updated 4/20/2026

A fresh way to explore the heart of East Tennessee

Grainger County has always been a place where scenic beauty, small‑town charm, and Appalachian heritage come together — and now, visitors have an all‑new way to discover it. The Tourism Division of the Grainger County Chamber of Commerce is proud to unveil two major projects designed to showcase our communities, support local businesses, and welcome travelers from across Tennessee and beyond:

The Grainger County Visitors Guide and VisitGraingerTN.com — our brand‑new official tourism website.

These new resources mark an exciting step forward for tourism in Grainger County, offering a modern, accessible, and inspiring look at everything our region has to offer.

🌅 A Fresh, Modern Visitors Guide

The new Grainger County Visitors Guide was created to help travelers experience the best of our lakes, towns, history, and outdoor adventures. Inside, readers will find:

  • Highlights of Cherokee Lake and Norris Lake

  • Local history, including A Trail Through Time Kiosk Tour. 

  • Scenic drives, overlooks, and outdoor recreation

  • Festivals, events, and seasonal activities

  • Dining, shopping, and artisan features

The guide is designed to be both beautiful and practical — a resource that reflects the spirit of Grainger County while helping visitors plan unforgettable trips.

đź’» VisitGraingerTN.com: Your New Digital Gateway

Alongside the Visitors Guide, we’re excited to launch VisitGraingerTN.com, a completely new tourism website built from the ground up. This site brings Grainger County’s experiences to life with:
