What a peaceful place to take in nature. Overall, this state park was really quiet (not a lot of…read morepeople here) and had a large parking lot. The park itself is a bit smaller if you are looking to do a lot of exploring Beautiful views of the water! There are areas around with a pier for fishing and where you can walk around the water. The park did have restrooms as well that were clean. Beautiful spot for some fishing, a picnic, boating, and a walk along the water.

I really liked the pond setup and other aspects of this state park. There was a huge pool that apparently they are no longer going to keep operational and that is disappointing. I think they could do better with signage and what this park offers and could possibly keep all the items going for the public

This weekend I came across many people and the majority had their pups with them. Along the way there was plenty of seating and trash cans which were strategically placed. And though this trail is considered easy, there are a few hills that make it moderate. You will definitely get a workout if you visit. There seemed to be a great deal of parking available however when I left it was quite full.

Nice Short Hike And Nature Visit…read more Located in a residential neighborhood you park at the 90 degree curve in the road across from a house. There are signs... This is probably just under a mile each way to wiggle through the woods and down to the creek. Follow the water flow maybe 800' and you shall find the waterfall. Almost across from the trail that brings you to the creek is a little hill with a small trail that brings you to a good viewpoint on a rock ledge to see the falls from a better angle than straight down. I am not sure if a different trails brings you to the bottom of the fall, maybe rappelling down is the easier way... What are you waiting for? Take a hike!

Falling water falls trail is an out and back trail that has a trail head that can be found in a…read moresmall neighborhood with just a few parking spots at the trail entrance. This is marked by a small brown sign (in our case, on this day the sign was covered with trash). We came here on a day of outdoor adventures, coming from Prentice Cooper state forest, taking several "scenic" routes and finally finding a parking spot at the entrance. When we walked this trail, which truly is a 0.3 mile slightly downhill to flat trail, there was only one other family on this trail, making it pretty isolated, but also making the views all the more sweeter. Here's the thing...maybe it was the extreme and relentless heat this summer or the lack of rain, but as we continued to walk down the trail, neither of us could hear water! Sadly, we didn't hear any water because on this day, there was none. The falls were dry, being limited to a trickle. There are photos of the falls that look lovely. With this said, even if the falls were running at full capacity, you would be looking at them from the top of the falls, not head on. You would have to come at it from below to see that. If the falls were running, instantly this is a 5 star review for me. Because it was dry,i'm only giving it 4 stars, because it still was pretty to look at, and a nice walk overall. The address listed for Falling Water falls trail puts you right near the parking lot. I don't think this is a residential address, although there are homes directly across from the lot. I'd highly recommend coming here after it has rained a few times or at least one heavy time. I'll have to come back myself when it does!

It's Spring and that time of year to go see the sights at Signal Mountain…read more What I mean are the breathtaking views from the top of the mountains. They call this 'The Brow', partly because of the shape it makes viewing it from the ground, and also because of the views you can see of the ground from up top the mountains. Along the way there are beautiful things blooming, turning gorgeous colors. Lots of green, lots of flowers with different shapes and colors. There are winding roads leading up so high that you have to swallow to catch your own hearing again from the sudden height increase. You'll see waterfalls along the roads of every kind. Tiny little trickles of water coming from behind the huge outcroppings of granite and also many gushing long waterfalls, too. Flowers galore. Blooming trees and lakes. Nature. All of it is pretty and all of it worthy of a trip out to take a drive or a nice long hike.

Texans will be sure to want to visit this park and get a chance to view Hiwasee Island a short walk up a great hill at the Trail of Tears ( assemblement ) Park in SouthEastern Tennessee. "Samuel Houston, born March 2, 1793 in Virginia and moved to Tennessee with his widowed mother. At age of sixteen Houston ran away from home to live with the Cherokee Indians on Jolly's Island." "Archaeological artifacts dug up from this island dated historic and prehistoric tribal peoples that lived on the island dating back to the late Eoodland Hamilton phase (ca 600-900), early Mississippian Hiwasee (ca A.D. 1300-1500) The Cherokees which were the last tribe on the island left 1818. Their legacy and fate brought this Memorial Park. The island is also called Jolly's Island, name for Chief John Jolly. As a young boy, Sam Houston lived on this island with the Cherokees. Chief Jolly adopted Sam and gave him an Indian name "The Raven". Possibly, this early influence guided his ambitions to settle the State of Texas. Will Rogers was another person of note that descended from the Rogers Family that lived on the island." "This island has been nominated for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. " Let's make it so!
