RHEA SPRINGS CEMETERY, Rhea County, Tennessee Directions from Spring City, Tn: Take Tow String Road (that's Tow, not Toe) north to Rhea Springs Road. Turn right and just after the gate to the picnic area, turn left and go to the very top of the hill overlooking the lake. Gradually some are changing the history of this valley by writing it as Toe String instead of Tow. The valley got it's name from the flax that was grown there, used to make linen, and a by-product of this process was Tow, used in making of sacks, among other things.
