I have been going here since I was a child. Beautiful beautiful place. Plenty of wildlife and the trails are awesome.

My family and I like this park a great deal. It has many trails, something like a limited zoo, containing many rescued animals. A small lake. It is easy to get to. You should look it up if you are in the area and have time.

This is the largest city-owned park in Tennessee and the only city-owned nature preserve in the United States. The park has so much to see and do that one day is not enough. Ranger programs vary daily and are lots of fun while being educational. The planetarium shows are fascinating. There's almost 40 miles of hiking and biking trails, including a lakeside trail (our favorite), a longer hike to the fire tower, and a more challenging hike to the peak. The visitor's center has displays about local plants, animals, geology, and upcoming natural events. There are daily barge rides on the lake. More adventurous people can ride the zip line. A more advanced zip line and a ropes course are available by reservation for groups of 8 or more. For those who want to stay closer to the ground, the adventure course, which is a small obstacle course. You could visit with Tennessee's most charming wolf pack or, like we did this week, hang up your backpacking hammock and chill out for a couple of hours for stories and a good book.

It's great family fun. They have hiking trails,mt.bike trails and zip line. They also have a planetarium shows. They have a small zoo. It's $5.00 per car to get in. Two look out towers with great views of the park and of surrounding areas.

I really adore this whole place! It's a wonderful resource for those who are looking for a beautiful hike, an educational field trip, or a great place to have a picnic. The trails and picnic areas always seem well maintained.
