Plan Your Visit
Start here to plan your visit to the South Cumberland State Park, totaling nearly 31,000 acres, spread across ten separate tracts, spanning four Tennessee counties. SCSP is home to Savage Gulf, Stone Door and the nationally-ranked Fiery Gizzard Trail. Tennessee's second-largest state park has 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.
