Eva Beach Recreation Area — Attraction in Tennessee

A Hidden Gem on the Tennessee River Eva Beach Recreation Area is a true hidden gem for anyone seeking a peaceful escape.

It's the kind of place where you can truly unplug and appreciate the simple beauty of nature, whether you're casting a line or just relaxing by the water's edge.

Finally got ahold of one of the girls walking by from the group and asked if they could leash their dog. Got a snide look from her and off they went didn't see the dog again for about an hour but sure enough, he came running back messing with ours again... PINA but overall a good area to take the...
