Fishing at Frozen Head
Flat Fork Creek flows through the park and is stocked with rainbow trout each spring.
Trout are only stocked February to March. Flat Fork Creek is seasonal and may run dry in the warmer months.
Fishing is allowed from the Flat Fork turnaround to the park entrance. A Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) trout stamp is required.
The park does not rent boats, nor does it have a boat launch ramp.
