The Mount Roosevelt Scenic Overlook provides a spectacular view of the area around Roane County and as far away as the Smoky Mountains (on a clear day). 

Mount Roosevelt is a peak on Walden Ridge west of Rockwood.  Part of the Cumberland Escarpment, the mountain reaches a height of 2036 feet, more than 1100 feet above the town.
