NASHVILLE, TN - Today, Angel’s Hollow State Park, Tennessee’s 70th state park was dedicated! This historic milestone represents a lasting investment in protecting the places that make Tennessee special.

The park protects approximately 2,500 acres of wide-open meadows, fog-filled valleys, and rocky creeks across Hamilton and Rhea counties in southeast Tennessee. With a direct connection to the Cumberland Trail, Angel’s Hollow will open new doors to outdoor recreation, welcoming everyone from families exploring the outdoors for the first time to experienced hikers seeking their next adventure.

Located adjacent to Hamilton County’s McDonald Farm, Angel’s Hollow State Park provides a direct connection to the Justin P. Wilson Cumberland Trail State Park. With plans for trails, camping and additional visitor amenities, the park will offer new opportunities for families, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts to explore and enjoy Tennessee’s outdoors.

While the park is not yet open to visitors, plans are underway for trails, campgrounds, a visitor center, and other amenities that will welcome local families and travelers alike. Stay tuned for updates and future opportunities to explore.
