Lifestyle

Spend a day on the lake, hiking at the park, shopping in quaint shops and boutiques or visit B.E. Scott’s BBQ, named one of the “Top Barbecue Joints in the South” by Southern Living.

“We decided to retire in Lexington, Tennessee because of the many lakes and the closeness of the Tennessee River. It is also only a day’s drive to the Atlantic and to the Gulf of Mexico. We enjoy good services from city and county government with reasonable taxes. We have excellent health care facilities and providers close. Henderson County is a great place to live!”
