Smithville

Smithville is often referred to as a typical "Mayberry" town. Quiet, country setting with small shops and some of the nicest people you'll meet anywhere.  Well, that's a pretty good way to explain Smithville. But it's a bit more than that...

While we don't have the high-end shopping centers, hundreds of traffic lights and bumper-to-bumper traffic, we kinda like it the way it is. We're just a few minutes from shopping and night life. And, we're less than an hour from Nashville. We may not be a metropolis bit thats why we live in Smithville! What we do have is one of the nicest, cleanest, recreational activity lakes in the entire Nation... Center Hill Lake!

Center Hill Lake is a 64 mile long reservoir consisting of 415 miles of shoreline, and 18,200 acres of deep, pure water for many species of fish.  Center Hill Dam is on the Caney Fork River. Nearly all of the shoreline is undeveloped and natural. Center Hill Lake is owned and managed by the federal government through the US Army Corps of Engineers.  There are 3 gorgeous waterfalls and many excellent places to hike, swim, and camp.  Also on the lake are 8 marinas, 5 restaurants, 1 state park, 9 Army Corps recreation areas, and the Joe L. Evins Appalachian Center for the Crafts.

We get 10's of thousands of visitors to our area every year to enjoy Center Hill Lake and many decide to stay or purchase a second home to visit throughout the year because they know the kind of enjoyment they will have. Additionally, there are literally hundreds of areas around Middle Tennessee to enjoy its beauty and home-grown hospitality!

There are several other events that take place throughout the year. One of the most attended events literally by people around the world is the Fiddler's Jamboree! This is an event you don't want to miss. It is held on the Public Square in Smithville on the Friday and Saturday closest to the July 4th weekend. There are hundreds of entrants in various categories including Fiddle Championships, Clogging, Dulcimer and many others. There are also hundreds of vendors onhand that offer hand-made crafts throughout the weekend.

Whatever you're looking for, you can find it in Middle Tennessee and if you're looking to get away from the daily grind, hustle and bustle of the Metro lifestyle... Think Smithville and Middle Tennessee!
