Eerie tunnel that leads to, well, nowhere. After a town was flooded to build a nearby damn, the relocated residents were promised a road that would allow them to visit graves of their loved ones. While a tunnel at the start of the road was completed, the full road never was. It's fun and creepy to walk through, and a gorgeous drive through the Smokey Mountains to get there.
