Favorite Tennessee State Park. We go every year at least once a year. There are two camps grounds one by a creek and one in the mountain. Facilities are clean. They have site for Large RV’s to tent camping. There is a small museum, small inclosure for some Owls and raptors. Take your bike lots of trails for biking and hiking!

We had a good time and learned alot about how they drain the lakes and why, the owls and Hawks were cool to see and get up close, the waterfall was beautiful but we missed the big waterfall due to lake being drained in late fall.

Stayed in our RV in campsite 2. Had a good time near good people . The park is pretty and quite. Highly recommend for a low key rest vacation for sure.

Very clean and family friendly state park. Could easily be a 5/5 if they would get the “Olympic sized” swimming pool operational. Please quit advertising it on your website until you get it up and running.

Beautiful scenery. Very clean. The waterfall was absolutely gorgeous. First time visiting and can't wait to rent a cabin to have quick access to this place!
