Very good nature trails and beautiful scenery. Pets are allowed on leashes and there is a wonderful campsite.
I was just in awe of this park, I did the trail in reverse because I was anxious to see the ruins of the old mills. At my first stop was a water fall, and I was saying to myself, this is cool. Then I contiuned on and came across another waterfall, then another, I can't even remember how many I ended up seeing. They were all amazing and definitely a park I would return to. Most areas are easy enough for those with kids too. Paths are clear, and not many rocks or roots. Also, there are about 12 markers along the trail with explanations or historical info worth reading. If you enjoy parks, this is a must see.....also try Great Stone Door and Greeter Falls, near Beersheba Springs. Cumberland Gap parks will not disappoint.
This was my 2nd time to this wonderful park. Only stayed one night, but we had a chance to roam around the museum and walk around the main loop. Simply amazing to think of the scope of work done by hand to build the "wall". We did pick a site that was a little tight for our RV, So you may want to pay attention when you book your stay. Other than that, it's a well maintained and was nice and quiet while we were there. I would've loved to have been able to spend a couple more days just relaxing here!
Staff was extremely helpful and pleasant!The park is beautiful, and full of active critters!The campground is well laid out and very serene....the only slight negative (and very very slight) is that the campsites are kind of narrow which could make it a challenge for larger rigs. But don't let that discourage you in any way...it is worth the couple extra setup/positioning minutes!
This is a nice Tennessee state park with a great museum of indian artifacts. You can take a walking tour of the old defense barricade of earthworks and rock that was built along the little duck and duck rivers. There are beautiful waterfalls and cascades to view as well as plenty of wildlife. They also have an excellent fully shaded campground with hot showers, fire rings, picnic tables and grills. There is also a nice 9 hole golf course on site. Overall a great state park to visit
Interesting and has a nice circular walk along a beautiful river. It also has a small museum about the area's history.
It's a small park comparing to a lot of state parks but it is very beautiful and well worth going to. The downside is a lot of the things in this park are not marked as well as they could be but if you make the effort to explore a little bit you will gain the gift of beauty. It is a very beautiful
We made a stop here with our group that had travelled for 3-4 hours - we had a quick lunch in the picnic area, briefly visited the "museum", and then hikes some trails before moving on to our final destination for the night. It was a nice stopping point, good proximity to the interstate, clean, nice to stretch our legs. I found the staff less than helpful but we brought our own maps with us. The trails are not really welll marked but we fumbled through them and managed to get back to our starting point. The trails were quite muddy the day we went but the scenery was nice. We would stop again but seems that we mostly saw everything during our 2 hours there.
I was in Manchester doing press coverage for Bonnaroo festival. After a nasty mixup by the staff at the festival, I got trapped in the lowest of lows - Bonnaroo general camping. Due to my late arrival, I survived one sleepless night there before immediately leaving. Manchester's hotels were booked up at this point, so I hit Google in search of a state park. Tada! I'm just glad it was so close. All of the campsites are shaded and well enough spaced out so neighbors shouldn't bother each other. The trees were a lifesaver in the June heat, and my tent never got above 75 degrees despite the horror stories coming back from general camping at the festival about people sleeping under cars to evade the heat. The park rangers at check in were very nice, I enjoyed chatting with them. The last day, I took a hike to see the stone fort, and visited the gift shop. Well maintained. The waterfall along the hiking trail was very pretty, though extremely hard to get down to a good viewpoint.
What a beautiful and peaceful park with gorgeous waterfalls a nice little museum .if you are in the area you should really stop and check it out !
