Back in September of last year we made a couple of quick day hikes to Cave Mountain in Union Grove/Guntersville and near Greeter Falls and Rock Island in Tennessee.
Cave Mountain Small Wild Area is managed by the TVA on land near the Guntersville Dam. The "cave" itself is actually an old Civil War saltpeter mine and not a naturally occurring cave.

Rock Island State Park, specifically the Caney Fork River Gorge, is one of the most otherworldly places to visit in Tennessee. The water is a green-blue that you usually see coming out of natural springs and the rock formations are both impressive and strange.
