K-25 Slab overview
K-25 Slab
One of the main reasons to visit the K-25 Slab is to learn about the important role it played in the Manhattan Project. During World War II, the K-25 plant produced enriched uranium that was used in the first atomic bomb. Visitors can take a guided tour of the site and learn about the complex and dangerous process of uranium enrichment.
Another reason to visit the K-25 Slab is to see the impressive size of the facility. The K-25 plant was one of the largest buildings in the world at the time of its construction, and the massive concrete slab that supported it still stands today. Visitors can walk on the slab and see the remains of the building's foundation, giving them a sense of the scale of this incredible engineering feat.
In addition to its historical significance, the K-25 Slab is also a unique natural area. The plant was constructed in a remote part of eastern Tennessee, and the surrounding woods and fields are home to a variety of wildlife. Visitors may see deer, wild turkey, and other animals as they explore the area.
Overall, the K-25 Slab is a must-visit attraction for anyone interested in history, engineering, or the natural world. With its fascinating story and unique setting, it is sure to be a highlight of any trip to Tennessee.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
