    What's Your New Year's Resolution?

    Start the New Year off right by getting outdoors!

    Bring your family and friends on a free First Day Hike at a Tennessee State Park this New Year’s Day. First Day Hikes are part of a nationwide initiative led by America’s State Parks to encourage people to get outdoors. Kids and adults all across America will be participating in First Day Hikes, getting their hearts pumping and enjoying the beauty of a state park. 

    First Day Hikes return on January 1!

    We’ll share event locations and details closer to the date. In the meantime, explore upcoming park events or plan your next visit to a Tennessee State Park.
