Take I-75 to exit 60, which is SR68. Take SR68 to US411. Take US411 to Benton, then SR314 over to the Forest Service roads.
If you want to maximize your interstate time, take I-75 all the way to Cleveland, TN, and pick up SR60 & US74 to Ocoee, then back north a few miles on SR314.
Avoid Knoxville at rush hours if possible.
There are some grades, but those are inevitable in East TN. Just gear down and get in the right lane.
I highly recommend you get a TN state road map. GPS is not the most reliable source of directions in the backwoods. A Cherokee National Forest map would also be helpful. You want the southern section, if the maps of the north and south sections are sold separately.
Enjoy your trip, and welcome to a beautiful part of the world!
