This is our favorite place to go during the summer. There's enough fun things to do to keep you and the kids busy for the weekend. There's a basketball court, enough space to play baseball or soccer, volleyball court, a playground, fishing and camping. There's also a shallow, crystal clear creek to cool off in and an enclosed pavilion perfect for parties or family reunions.

Well maintained, picnic tables and grills at each camp sight. Boat launch, port a potties, trash recepicales Tennessee River to the left and Mousetail cove to the right. Set and watch the barges and tug boats go by. I don't think there is anyway possible you can't relax here.

The scenery is beautiful from primitive camp area but the port a potty is disgusting. It's worst I've ever experienced.
