Safety at the Park

With over 1,000 feet of elevation change across the park, proper hydration is essential. Visitors are encouraged to review trail mileage before beginning their hike. The terrain is steep and rocky and sturdy, appropriate footwear is highly recommended. Ticks are common throughout the park; wearing long pants and using insect repellent can help reduce exposure. Rattlesnakes, coyotes, bobcats, and anole lizards are among the wildlife inhabiting the area and should always be given adequate space. Additionally, hunting is permitted in designated areas of the park, so wearing bright colors during hunting seasons is strongly advised.
Accessibility

Head of the Crow State Park welcomes visitors of all abilities and is part of Tennessee State Parks’ ongoing efforts to make outdoor experiences more accessible for everyone. While much of the park’s terrain and trails are naturally rugged and may be challenging for mobility devices, Tennessee State Parks offers resources such as all-terrain wheelchairs that can be reserved in advance to help explore suitable routes and outdoor spaces. The park and the broader state parks system continue to work toward enhanced accessibility by providing detailed trail information, improving signage, and offering amenities that support inclusive access where possible. Visitors with specific accessibility needs are encouraged to contact the park ahead of their visit for the most current information and assistance.
