Awesome park! Tons of trails. Some great swimming and fishing spots. If you want to swim in the "Blue Hole" you'll see it on the right side of the road about 1/2 mile before you get to the entrance of the park as you are driving north. There is a wooden sign there on the right side of the road. The pics I'm posting with this review were from another little spot in the river about 1/2 mile into the park from the start of the main trail.

We did what’s apparently the “old trail” of WhiteHouse Cliffs on the way up (did some research after our hike). It had recently stormed and there were trees down so we had to bushwhack. Once we got to the top after the steep part we figured out we were on the creek trail NOT the new, beautiful, well maintained trail… lol. It was an adventure and definitely worth it. Note to self… next time start at the parking lot trail head. Yes, we did make our way back down the mountain on the *right* trail. This new trail opened in 2020- very nice! Our goldendoodle loved the adventure too!! Bring water!!!!! ** the trail was incorrect on the Hiking Project app
all good things are wild & free
One of the best local parks. So many little watering holes to cool off in during summer. It’s off the beaten path so it isn’t ever too busy like the spots near AVL.

Follow the road signs!! Depend on GPS/ directions only as far as the interstate and you'll easily reach your destination to a wonderful state park! As you head to the main parking area, you can stop off at intermediate parking areas to fish or swim in the creek that follows the road up. Was met by very friendly and knowledgeable park rangers who told us about the battlefield area along a certain trail. While the battlefield itself was a bit underwhelming (it's just an overgrown field that is only partially accessible/ exolorable) the rest of trail is magnificent and peaceful. It was so enjoyable, we came back a second time during our trip to the area and will come back again to trek new unhiked trails! So much to explore and enjoyed here.

I believe there are a few trails that allow horseback riding. I remember seeing them on the trailmarkers, but don't know where you would park and access them. There are no horses allowed at the main entrance. I think you would have to come in from the Cherokee National Forest horse trails.
Yes. They added Lamar Alexander.
Many of the rocks in the creek are covered or partially voveres in moss. Many picturesque spots in the park, along the road and along the trails.
Rocky Fork in Tennessee's newest state park. It is awesome as it is but there are plans for improvements. The road going into the park follows the river. There are places to pull over and explore the river. There is a gravel parking lot at the end. There is a trail to explore at the parking lot. When they are done with improvements, this park is going to be awesome. Form what I understand the trout fishing is excellent. Special rules may apply.
