Good park for biking. Good if you want to go to the lake. It's sad how they have let parts of park decline such as the pool area.

It is a good place with all the swimming places and the Marina, but i would rather go to Fall Creek Falls. There is absolutely no service.. on my phone atleast, and i get it you're camping but me as a teeneger would like to keep my streaks and just keep talking and posting stuff. I cant though, so i think Fall Creek Falls is the better option.

So we did the bike trail out and started at the visitor center - went around the campground and to the point and would give it 10 stars if I could. It was mountain biking but on a paved trail the whole way. We had several switchbacks that made for a thrilling ride. There are enough sections of up alternating with down that you don’t have to just keep walking up the hills with your bike and it was about 90 degrees but the entire trail is completely shaded so you were not hot at all.

I always love using the walking trails here. It's a beautiful place that offers nice paved walking trails, as well as, hiking trails. Wildlife can be seen all year around, and there are picnic tables along the paved walking path. There are also restrooms at a few points around the park and a playground, too. I always start my walks at the visitor center, which has a gift shop, bird exibits, and a newer "discovery" building which houses some local wildlife and informational exhibits about Tennessee and the park in particular. I just wish I lived closer, as I would go a lot more often.

Is the pool open on sundays?

SociallyAwkwardSarah | Jan 9, 2019
Rita Grubbs Wright | Jan 10, 2019

I would assume not.

The hours of operation are incorrect. It is from 10 am - 6 pm. If they are low on staff, there is also a lunch break from 12-1. Hope this helps.

Rachel Collins | Jan 9, 2019
Marty Coe | Jan 10, 2019

That answer is wrong. We are Monday through Friday. 8 am til 5pm (except for holidays). Saturdays are 8 am til 3pm except for holidays. We are on Central Standard Time. Call for hours on any holiday.
