Labor Day trip (Knoxville, Chattanooga: real estate, rentals, cabin)

[firefly765]

I'm pasteing this post that I did in the Chattanooga forum to see if it gets some more feedback. I should elaborate on my intensions for real estate. I'd be looking to build in the future (10-12 yrs), on the water, 60K-80K range, from what I'm seeing Watts Bar is where I'm leaning. Any opinions?

The wife and I are planning a trip on Labor Day weekend to the area. We'd like to see some of the area and real estate between Chattanooga & Knoxville for future building plans (on or near water).

1) Any events going on that weekend to see?
2) Place to stay (Maybe a cabin/resort w/ marina boat rentals)?
3) Good places to eat/hang for early 30's (would love to get local bars & BBQ)?
4) Canoe river trips in the area?
5) Are there like beach areas where boats will anchor up have beers & food, etc.?

Thanks for the help.
