Road work on North River Road (NFSR 217) is expected to be completed by March 23, with the road reopening to the public.

Camping will also be available along with access to Whigg Road. Please continue to use caution when accessing North River Road, as some finishing work will be needed to fully complete the contract.

“I’m excited to reopen North River Road, so our forest visitors can see and experience the improvements we’ve made,” said Stephanie Bland, Tellico District Ranger.

We Love the Bears Den!

My entire family stayed at the Bear’s Den for our wedding, and it was very memorable. We had such a great time. The quality of the cabin was more than we expected, and my family loved every moment. The house was huge and well worth every penny.

A Relaxing Birthday Weekend

The office staff at MVCR were professional, personable, courteous, and responsive. The cabin was clean, and all the necessities were available. We were close to town, yet far enough away to enjoy listening to the sound of the river and the feeling of ease it brings. I went for a relaxing birthday weekend.
