8 days in Oak Ridge Itinerary

Oak Ridge is a city in Anderson and Roane counties in the eastern part of the U.S. Step out of the city life by going to Ozone Falls and Fort Loudoun State Park. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Historic Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary and Children's Museum of Oak Ridge. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Oak Ridge: Cane Creek Falls (in Fall Creek Falls State Park), Frozen Head State Park (in Wartburg) and Wildwood Stables (in Crossville). There's lots more to do: identify plant and animal life at Pickett CCC Memorial State Park, contemplate the long history of Manhattan Project National Historical Park, walk around Haw Ridge Park, and admire the majestic nature at Sgt. Alvin C. York State Historic Park.
