About Jellico, Tennessee
Jellico straddles Highway 297 near the Kentucky line. Coal camps dotted these valleys in the early 1900s; pick axes rang through fog-shrouded hollers. Hikers now summit Indian Mountain's fire tower for 360-degree sweeps. Anglers hook trout in Jellico Creek's riffles. Boaters skim the 100-acre lake at the state park. Locals gather yearly for the Jellico Jamboree on Depot Street, fiddles blazing under string lights.
