Drive In, Fly In, Boat In. But Come on Down!
The new SplashPad has seen more than its share of summer playtime with time off from school. It's an excellent place for the young ones to burn off their excess energy. Across the street from there is the new amphitheater. The City plans to add RV parking and vendor spaces, making it even more appealing as an outdoor venue in town.
Community organizations such as the Rotary Club, Main Street Association, and the Clifton Chamber of Commerce encourage you to visit Clifton, shop at our unique shops on Main Street, enjoy a stroll down the future river walkway or possibly an outdoor concert or movie, and lay your head on a pillow at one of our Victorian bed and breakfast locations.
Are you a dedicated golfer? You love the game, but your spouse wants great shopping. There are many destinations around Clifton within a day's drive where she can spend your money, and you can chase the ball in peace, knowing she will meet you for drinks at one of the rental houses to watch the sun set over the course.
Clifton redefines the peace and tranquility sought by residents and visitors alike.
Named for the high cliffs on which it stands, Clifton is 16 miles north of Waynesboro, the county seat. It was the most important commercial location in the county.
Ross Creek Landing Golf Course offers rental houses for the week or the weekend, and there are two restored Victorian B&Bs in town.
Be sure to visit the Clifton Marina for dinner or breakfast, too! Entertainment on weekends.
Clifton has plenty of places to play, whether on the golf course or the water. You can fly, drive, or swim into town, visit all the charming countryside stores and towns that are a part of Southern Middle Tennessee, and rest your head back in Clifton.
We are expanding new businesses and creating a healthy small business incubator. We want you to visit and come back again.
