Plan Your Visit
Start here to plan your visits to the South Cumberland and Savage Gulf State Parks, together totaling nearly 31,000 acres, spread across ten separate tracts, spanning four Tennessee counties. These parks are home to Savage Gulf, Stone Door and the nationally-ranked Fiery Gizzard Trail. They have twelve major waterfalls, dozens of amazing overlooks, and, at 500+ acres, one of the best and largest examples of mixed mesophytic old-growth forest in the Eastern United States.
