caption_attribution_description: View of House Mountain in Tennessee from the southwest
context_page_description: House Mountain is a mountain located in Corryton, Tennessee, United States, about 8 miles northeast of Knoxville. Rising to an elevation of 2,064 feet above sea level, House Mountain is the highest point in Knox County.
  The House Mountain State Natural Area— designated in 1987— consists of 525 acres, mostly on the south side of the mountain. House Mountain is known for its huge sandstone boulders, its wide variety of bird and plant life, and for the views from its two peaks. On a clear day, the Great Smoky Mountains and the upper Unaka Range are visible to the south and east, the Cumberland Plateau is visible to the west, and Powell Mountain and Clinch Mountain are visible to the north and northeast.
  The origin of the mountain's name is unknown, though a local legend suggests early settlers thought the mountain was shaped like the roof of a house.
