Fall Creek Falls State Resort Park, situated on the Western Edge of the Cumberland Plateau, contains over 25,000 acres of rugged beauty. Inside the park are both first class recreational facilities, including an 18-hole golf course and untrammeled pristine wilderness. Resource management staff is available year round to assist park visitors. Fifty miles of trails, including twenty-five miles of hiking trails, and twenty miles of biking trails, lead the visitor away from the roads and into the wilderness at Fall Creek.
Questions relating to the programs above should be addressed to the Nature Center, Fall Creek Falls State Park, 10821 Park Road, Pikeville, TN, 37367. Phone (423) 881-5708.

Donate to the Friends
The Friends needs a few good friends! As you can imagine with state budget cuts the parks systems are pretty low on the capital agenda. It is up to us, the people who love & live here. Those who visit and truly appreciate what spectacular specimens live within the park. The wildlife, the flora is home to rare and some almost extinct species. We need your support in our efforts to CARE about the park. It is only through your generous donations of time, energy and money that we ALL can accomplish great things here at Fall Creek Falls State Park.
