Directions
GOOGLE MAPS: input "Dave Lay Hollow Tennessee" for directions to the north property boundary. From the south at Knoxville, go north on I-75 to Exit 141 (Huntsville/Oneida/Pioneer). As you exit I-75 at Exit 141, proceed 24 miles to the property. Take a left under the interstate and past the Pilot on 63/297 bearing right on Hwy 297 at the Pioneer, TN US Post Office and continuing north on 297 through Elk Valley to the Newcomb Community. Take a left from Hwy 297 going west (if you pass E's country store on your left then you went too far north on Hwy 297 so turn around and go back) on Whistle Creek Rd for 5.5 miles as the road transitions from asphalt to gravel. Stay on Whistle Creek Rd until you bear left and merge with Lamb Mountain Rd/Hatfield Rd bearing left a second time as the road turns due south (when you turn onto Whistle Creek Rd you'll bear left twice on county roads to enter the north property boundary-note all other gravel roads are private drives off Whistle Creek Rd and are gated).
From the north at Lexington, KY, go south on I-75 and take Exit 160 (Jellico) at the TN-KY state line. Google maps directions: enter "Dave Lay Hollow Tennessee." From the off-ramp on Exit 160 it is 11 miles to the property. Proceed south through Jellico on 5th St/Main St/297 continuing south on Hwy 297/Newcomb Pike and turning right onto Whistle Creek Rd/Capuchin Rd west toward the county line, then bear left going south on Lamb Mountain Rd/Whistle Creek Rd. When you see a 2-acre hay field on your right you're at the northern boundary for this parcel.
Once you reach the north property line at the hay field, the land is on the left side of Whistle Creek Rd. No 911 address exists for this property since no home is present so look at the aerial photos provided for visual references and utilize the OnXHunt app on your phone to fix your location relative to the property boundaries.
If you have time, take a trip to the TWRA Hatfield Knob elk viewing tower. The site is only 35 miles' driving distance, but you have to go north to Jellico then east-southeast through Duff and curvy roads to reach the site so the drive time is approximately 1 hour. Google Maps: enter "Hatfield Knob Viewing Tower, LaFollette, TN 37766"
