About Fox Fire
Fox Fire sits about 10 miles southwest of downtown Knoxville, north of Louisville and northwest of Alcoa, with Farragut roughly 6 miles to the west. The area is part of the Northshore Drive corridor that runs along the Fort Loudoun Lake peninsula, giving access to Choto Road and Pellissippi Parkway for trips into Knoxville or Maryville. Nearby neighborhoods include Northshore Hills, Benington, Highbridge, Bluegrass Ridge, Farmington and Farmington-Pine Springs, forming a cluster of residential streets on the south side of the lake. The setting is largely wooded and rolling, typical of the land between the river and the Farragut shopping corridor. Its position between three established towns, Louisville, Alcoa and Farragut, makes it a practical home base for commuting in several directions across Knox and Blount counties.
