A tranquil town set between the wilderness and lakes

Rural Scenic Lake Outdoors

Incorporated more than 200 years ago, Newport is an easygoing city in east Tennessee. Nestled between the Great Smoky Mountains and Douglas Lake, Newport offers peaceful rural living in a fantastic scenic setting.

Locals gather at popular neighborhood spots like the Grease Rack for a good steak, and East Tennessee Coffee Company for fresh coffee and small plates. The Pigeon River runs through town, and makes for fantastic views from Newport’s Main St. I-40 runs through town, connecting to the lake and all the activities it offers. Knoxville is just 48 miles to the west, meaning the conveniences of the big city are well within reach.
