Did you know Burgess Falls State Park and Window Cliffs State Natural Area are home to one of Tennessee State Parks' Mounted Patrol horses?
Our horse Boudreaux is partnered with Ranger Hannah and serves both parks by assisting with patrol, community engagement, and special events. Whether on the trails or meeting visitors, this four-legged Ranger plays an important role in helping keep our parks safe and welcoming.
Caring for a Mounted Patrol horse requires daily attention and ongoing costs—such as feed, hay, veterinary care, grooming supplies, and riding equipment. Your donations help alleviate these expenses and directly support the well-being of this incredible partner in conservation.
To help support our program, Mounted Patrol stickers and patches are available for purchase in the gift shop! You can also make a donation by clicking the green "Register for event" button and following the prompts.
Thank you for supporting the Mounted Patrol Program and helping us continue to serve visitors in a unique and meaningful way!

Burgess Falls State Park, encompassing approximately 304 acres, is a captivating destination renowned for its breathtaking waterfalls and scenic beauty. Falling Water River is the lifeblood of Burgess Falls State Park, carving its way through the landscape and creating stunning vistas as it plunges over four waterfalls, including the impressive 103-foot Burgess Falls. Visitors can explore hiking trails, enjoy picnicking, and witness the diverse flora and fauna that thrive within this natural haven. The base of the falls is accessed by boat or kayak from the Cane Hollow Recreation Area.
