Sweetwater is a lovely city in Monroe County, best known as the home of the acclaimed Craighead Caverns. The National Natural Landmark caverns are home to the stunning 4.5-acre Lost Sea, the largest underground lake in the United States, which can be toured as part of combination guided walking and boat tours throughout the year.
Beautiful underground crystal formations and waterfalls are showcased throughout the cave, which is named in honor of Cherokee Chief Craighead. After exploring the caverns, visitors can enjoy tastings and tours at renowned winery Tsali Notch, known for its production of wines crafted with signature Tennessee grape varietal Muscadine. Picturesque Sweetwater Valley Farm, founded in the early 19th century, offers a charming cafe, gift shop, and daily tastings of cheese produced at the facility's dairy farm.
