How We Calculated These
For every pair of places we asked the public OSRM routing service, which runs on OpenStreetMap road data, for the fastest road route in each direction, averaged the two, and rounded to 5 minutes. Pairs under 2 hours are stored in the picker; the table covers five metro starting cities for every place. Towns are reference points from our events calendar (no page of their own). The place list is built from the pages on this site, so a new place page adds a row at the next rebuild.
What We Could Not Verify
- These are estimates for a normal dayNo live traffic, closures, construction or weather.
- Map points for some attractions were looked up by name, not street address, so those routes can be off by a few minutes. Cades Cove is measured to the cove, not the loop road entrance.
- Ferry, park-road and seasonal-road closures are not modeled.
- Google Maps times will differ; use them for the day of your trip.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the closest state park to Nashville?
Use the picker with Nashville as the start and 45 minutes as the limit; it lists every park, lake park, attraction and venue on our site inside that drive.
Are these times from Google Maps?
No. They are estimates from OpenStreetMap road data without live traffic, so expect differences of 10 percent or more at busy times.
