Oak Ridge

While technically not within Roane County, nearby Oak Ridge has a strong connection to Roane through the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This major scientific and research center brings a unique element to the area, especially with its roots in the Manhattan Project during WWII.

Created by the Tennessee Valley Authority, Watts Bar Lake is one of the region’s biggest attractions. It spans over 39,000 acres and is ideal for water-based activities, drawing residents and tourists alike.

Agriculture and Economy

The county’s economy has traditionally been based on agriculture, particularly cattle farming. However, it also has a mix of industrial and scientific development due to the proximity to ORNL and the TVA, providing job opportunities in energy, research, and technology.

Natural Beauty

Roane County offers numerous parks and green spaces, like Roane County Park and Caney Creek Marina, known for their picturesque settings and hiking trails.

Education and Community

Roane State Community College, a local community college, serves the region, contributing to educational opportunities and workforce development.
