Long Hunter Fishing

For enhanced safety and security, Long Hunter State Park has installed a new electronic gate at the main entrance of the park. Once activated, on November 1st, 2025, the gate will open daily at 5:00 AM and close nightly at 8:00 PM.

Please note:

• Entry will not be permitted outside of the operational hours listed above. Boat ramp users may still launch if they arrive before 8:00 PM.
• Guests visiting the park should vacate by closing time at 8:00 PM (The park’s day-use areas close at 8:00 PM).
• Exiting the park will remain unrestricted—the gate will automatically open for all outbound traffic.

Operational hours at other areas of the park (Bryant’s Grove and Volunteer Trail) will not be affected. These areas will continue to close at 5:00 PM during standard time and 8:00 PM during daylight saving time.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions, please contact the park at 615-885-2422.

Due to safety concerns, the boat house and fishing pier are closed until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the park at 615-885-2422.
