A remarkable stretch of Tennessee is now protected for generations to come.

Clinch River Valley State Park is officially Tennessee’s 67th state park. Tucked into the hills of Hancock County, the new park protects 21 acres along the Clinch River — one of North America’s most biologically diverse freshwater rivers.

The Tennessee State Parks Conservancy is proud to have played a role in making this park possible. By helping to acquire lands for the visitor center and safe access to the river, the Conservancy protected an extraordinary landscape while opening the door to new ways for people to experience it.

The Clinch River is home to more than 35 species of freshwater mussels, including several endangered species. Its surrounding valley brings together forests, dramatic rock cliffs, wildlife and generations of Appalachian history.

As the park grows, visitors will find opportunities for paddling, fishing, biking, walking and wildlife watching, along with the historic general store at Kyles Ford.

We’re grateful to the supporters and partners who help make work like this possible. Your support enables the Conservancy to act when opportunities arise to protect special places and invest in the future of Tennessee State Parks.

Today, one of those places officially became a Tennessee State Park! 💫

Happy 10th birthday, bestie!🎂

Since 2016, the Tennessee State Parks Conservancy has been advancing accessibility, awareness, and fundraising for our state parks. The Conservancy initially operated within Tennessee State Parks’ offices, but soon became its own distinct, nonprofit organization.

The Conservancy’s work has enhanced accessibility by enabling all-terrain wheelchairs, adult changing tables, colorblind viewfinders, and so much more. Just in the past year, the Conservancy launched an ambitious effort to help secure six strategic land parcels essential for creating new state parks and expanding existing ones. Thousands of Tennesseans of different ages and abilities have benefited from their work, and we’re grateful for their ongoing support.

Cheers to ten years, and here’s to many more! 🥂 Support the Tennessee State Parks Conservancy [at the link in our bio] at tnstateparksconservancy.org/donate/.

Accessibility isn't a one-time project. It's an ongoing commitment.

This Disability Pride Month, we're reflecting on the progress that's been made—and the work that continues—to help ensure Tennessee State Parks are welcoming to everyone.

For years, the Tennessee State Parks Conservancy has partnered with Tennessee State Parks and generous donors to support projects that expand access to the outdoors. From all-terrain wheelchairs and accessible kayak launches to adult-sized changing stations, Mobi-Mats, and other accessibility improvements, every project helps more people experience the beauty, adventure, and peace found in Tennessee's state parks.

Behind each improvement is a story of greater independence, meaningful connections, and unforgettable moments in nature.

Read our latest blog to learn how your support is helping make Tennessee State Parks more accessible—today and for generations to come.

Some places tell stories that should never be forgotten.

Located where the Hiwassee and Tennessee Rivers meet near the historic Blythe Ferry crossing, Cherokee Trail of Tears State Park is a place of remembrance, learning, and reflection. Part of the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail, it honors the Cherokee and Muscogee (Creek) people who were forcibly removed from their ancestral homelands while preserving a landscape that continues to hold deep cultural significance.

Today, visitors can experience both the history and the natural beauty of this remarkable place, including views of the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge, one of Tennessee's premier destinations for Sandhill Cranes and other migratory birds.

Watch the video to learn more about this meaningful Tennessee State Park and why its story continues to matter. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1607568771032621

The best park experiences don't happen by accident.
