The bathroom was updated with more modern equipment. The kitchen of course is small, but still great for preparing a meal. We enjoyed the charcoal grill and the Adirondack rocking chairs. The trails are nice. The lake is quite charming. The only downside is the amount of goose poop near the beach area and leading to the walkway across the water. It would be great to put some sort of goose deterrent or power wash the sidewalks on a regular basis in order to fix this issue. The check in process was quick and easy and the rangers were helpful. It is nice being off the grid. The Wi-Fi is very weak in the cabins, but we actually appreciated that because technology shouldn't be the focus of your weekend away from home.

This is the most boring state park I've ever been to out of around 25 TN state parks (and several…read morein KY and SC). However, I say this as someone that loves to hike and usually long distances. I drove here from Franklin, TN. The drive is around three hours. It was a bit aggravating as 95% of the way here was one lane roads that will get you stuck behind semis going 15-20 under for 15-20 miles. SR-432 is littered with potholes and desperately needs redone. Also, for reference, it's June and 94 degrees in Greenfield, TN. I chose this state park because it's a hot day and I knew my dog couldn't be out long. It was worth it in a way for me because I'm trying to visit every TN state park ‍ Keep in mind that there are only two trails at this state park, both paved (well one is a boardwalk so wood I guess). I started at the visitor center which was closed and had no posted hours. I noticed the park was pretty empty, only one other car and I didn't end up seeing any people here. I went at 1 pm on a Tuesday for reference. There were some t shirts in the visitor center. If you park at the visitor center and walk behind it towards wooden signage, you will get to the boardwalk trail. There isn't a map of the trail at the start, but there is some history info that's somewhat legible if you can squint past the wealth of bird poop. Once on the wooden boardwalk, it's pretty and well taken care of. There are plenty of spots to sit, but also a million mosquitos so I didn't want to stop moving for long (I forgot to put on bug spray). Just a little bit into the boardwalk there is construction and there weren't any warnings at the beginning that the trail was closed past a certain point. The water around the trees was mostly dried up from the heat so it might be better to go when it's not hot or after a lot of rain. You can hear birds here, but the only wildlife I saw was a small lizard scurrying across the boardwalk. I then went to the picnic area parking and ate lunch. It was a nice little spot to eat lunch and there are tons of benches and tables around this area, some more tucked away. Park bathrooms are so hit or miss, but this bathroom is nice. It looks newly renovated and it was clean and cold inside. I walked the trail after. It wasn't anything too exciting, but it was a storybook trail and the story was legible throughout the entire trail so good for kids. It was more shaded than the boardwalk, but you might find a tick on you after this one. There's a basketball hoop, a playground, and lots of those little park grills. There are paper maps available by the picnic area parking. As for dog friendliness, there aren't poop bags and the refillable dog water bowl is broken and gross. However, there is a faucet next to it with a half broken concrete divot that will hold enough water long enough for your dog to drink water. I would be careful where your dog steps though and don't let them lay down because there's a jagged piece of unmovable mesh wire poking up. There's a little garden, but I will say it's hard to tell what plants are what because there are so many weeds. Overall, an underwhelming state park that you might just have to visit in order to check it off your list.

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.
