It’s also ideally positioned for visitors from North Alabama—just under 60 miles from Florence and roughly 85 miles from Huntsville.

Visit Tennessee's Buffalo River Country
Have you ever drifted lazily down a river on a warm afternoon, laughing at the cares you left upstream? Or bitten into a juicy heirloom tomato at a rural roadside farmstand? Have you ever toasted the day with friends in a 1930s speakeasy? If so, you’ve likely followed the Buffalo River as it courses through the westernmost part of Middle Tennessee, over a textured landscape of ridges, deep hollows, and tributary creeks. Seventy-five miles and what feels like a hundred years from Nashville, Perry County is the least densely populated county in Tennessee, yet rich with wildlife, scenery, and authentic experiences. If you’re ready to leave the city behind, spend a little time in Tennessee’s Buffalo River Country.
