Why your membership is now more important than ever:
South Cumberland and Savage Gulf State Parks now protect over 31,000 acres of pristine Tennessee wilderness . Although this is great news, more land, and more visitors, creates new and urgent unmet needs for these parks. Trails must be maintained or upgraded. Trail bridges require maintenance or replacement. Additional interpretive and wayfinding signage is needed. Guided hikes, seminars and workshops, including programs for area school children, must be prepared and delivered. And, the work of conserving additional environmentally-significant lands is far from complete. Your support makes possible the many initiatives of the Friends of South Cumberland State Parks, a volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization, working to protect, maintain and enhance two of Tennessee's largest and most spectacular state parks!

As one of our outstanding Park Rangers said, "The best thing that has ever happened to these parks is the formation of our Friends group. They have purchased land to add to your parks, have provided construction materials, built bridges, a ranger house, picnic shelters, rescue equipment for the rangers, helped build, assess, and maintain trails, created education programs for our local schools, totally renovated the South Cumberland State Park's Information & Welcome Center, created the new interpretive area at the site of the Civilian Conservation Corps camp, and have made many other improvements to your park. If you love the park, join the Friends and help them work with us to care for and improve this wonderful wilderness resource!"
