Gollum's Dwelling Place

Now we turn to the Misty Mountains, with its caves and underground lake where Gollum lived on an island for hundreds of years.

 

"Some of these caves, too, go back in their beginnings to ages before the goblins, who only widened them and joined them up with passages, and the original owners are still there in odd corners slinking and nosing about.

 

"Deep down here by the dark water lived old Gollum, a small slimy creature." -- "Riddles in the Dark," The Hobbit, JRR Tolkien

 

In our day and age, this place is known as the Tuckaleechee Caverns in Townsend, Tennessee.
