I would appreciate some wood signs discerning the junctions from one another. There are several social trails that will mislead you and could easily be fixed with a social trail sign or caution tape. I color coded the map attached to this review to show my route. I parked at the trailhead for the fitness trail. I walked the pink line to the museum and walked the yellow line back. Once I took a break, I did the green line. Due to poor planning I didn't realize the bike trail wasn't a loop and so I didn't intend to do two there and back hikes I'm not sure why it's not a loop as it could likely be connected from where it ends at the amphitheater to the 0.40 mile mark on the part of the bike trail headed straight to the museum... The visitor center/museum can be walked to from the bike trail. It's got information and artifacts from David Crockett's life and stuff. They also have several birds of prey outside that you can view anytime. The park rangers are very friendly and helpful when kids want to learn about the birds.

She as a kid had visited a town in Pennsylvania and absolutely loved her experience. So we decided to experience the different faction since we're here in Tennessee. It was a great experience. The tour was extremely informative. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable about their way of life. The Amish are friendly as well. When you pass them in the roads they'll smile and wave at you. At first I wasn't sure if that was ok. But, when I saw them do it I was like oh ok, I guess it's ok. We bought some jams, peanut brittle (it's like crack, seriously!), wife bought a basket which you can tell the craftsmanship that went into it. She didn't buy it from IKEA or Home Goods. It's really good quality and for a really reasonable price too. We also bought some chocolate chip cookies(my favorite cookie, and they're so good!), some sweet pickles, pot holders, and can't remember what else. Spent a bit of money. But, money well spent. The prices for everything is very reasonable. Not at all expensive from the families while you're on the tour. Everything is hand/home made. And so far from everything we've tried have been extremely pleased with our purchases. Remember to bring cash! No CC/debit machines on the tour.

They do allow you to bring your own alcohol, but they do not sell any at the restaurant, so make sure you bring it, if you want it.

I have never been to such an unprofessional place in my life and HIGHLY recommend you PASS IT UP! They will verbally attack you and threaten violence. We ranged in age of 2-70. How we deserved such treatment after making arrangements, is beyond me. No one was drunk except the said owner's boyfriend and "crew." Beware of this place folks. Sorry Yelp...

Absolutely Outstanding Tennessee State Park - A True Hidden Gem!…read more We just wrapped up an unforgettable evening at Henry Horton State Park, and it easily earns every one of its five stars. Located along the beautiful Duck River--one of the most biodiverse rivers in the world--this park offers the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and family fun without feeling overcrowded. The campground is top-notch: spacious, well-maintained RV sites with concrete pads, reliable Wi-Fi, clean and modern bathhouses, and plenty of peaceful wooded tent and primitive options (including some great backcountry sites for those seeking more solitude). We loved the thoughtful amenities like the camp store, playgrounds, splash pad, and even a nature play area that kept the kids entertained for hours. Activities here are incredibly diverse. We hiked several of the easy-to-moderate trails, including the scenic ones along the Duck River with observation decks overlooking wetlands teeming with wildlife. The 18-hole disc golf course is one of the best we've played in Tennessee--free and well-designed. Golfers will appreciate the championship Buford Ellington Golf Course right on site, while paddlers and anglers flock to the river for kayaking, fishing, or lazy tubing. Bonus points for the trap and skeet range if you're into shooting sports! The on-site restaurant (Governor's Table) serves surprisingly delicious meals, making it easy to grab breakfast or dinner without leaving the park. Staff and rangers were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the park--always quick to offer tips or help. Whether you're camping, staying in one of the comfortable cabins or lodge rooms, or just coming for a day trip, Henry Horton delivers a peaceful, well-kept escape that's perfect for families, couples, or solo adventurers. It's close enough to Nashville (under an hour) but feels like a true getaway. We can't wait to return--highly recommend for anyone in Middle Tennessee looking for quality outdoor recreation.
