Indian
Mountain State Park is a multi-use facility in Campbell County near Tennessee's
northern border. In addition to providing camping and recreation opportunities,
the 200-acre park is unique in that it was developed on reclaimed strip mine
land. Park visitors can enjoy fishing at the two small lakes, picnicking, camping,
and two walking trails (one paved and one unpaved). The park offers the visitor
the opportunity to view a variety of wildlife that includes deer, beaver, |
|
|
opposum,
raccoons, snakes, rabbits, squirrels, Canada geese, blue heron, white heron
and an occasional glimpse of a yearly visit from our favorite bald eagle.
Although the parks name would indicate that it is located on a
mountain, it is actually located at the base of the mountain. While it
is a small park, most any visitor will agree, it is one of our most beautiful
parks.

Frozen
Head State Park and Natural Area is situated in the beautiful Cumberland Mountains
of Eastern Tennessee near Wartburg. The 11,876 acres of relatively undisturbed
forest contain some of the richest wildflower areas in Tennessee. The mountainous
terrain varies from an elevation of 1,340 feet to over 3,000 feet on 14 different
mountain peaks. Frozen Head, elevation of 3,324, is one of the highest peaks
in Tennessee west of |
|
|
|
|
|
|
the
Great Smoky Mountains, and from its observation tower one has a commanding
view of the surrounding region. The Cumberland Plateau, Tennessee Ridge
and Valley, and the Great Smoky Mountians are plainly visible on a clear
day. In winter, the mountain peaks are often capped with snow or ice while
the lower valleys remain unadorned, thus giving the parks namesake, Frozen
Head.
The parks lush vegetation, small streams, waterfalls and beautiful
mountains make Frozen Head one of Tennessee's most scenic parks. There
are over 50 miles of foot trails which meander throughout the natural area,
passing by waterfalls, rock shelters and giant mountain-top cap rocks.
