Visiting All 59 State Parks in Tennessee
We love getting outdoors, and there are so many ways to spend time outside at Tennessee State Parks!
Somehow even though we’ve been in Tennessee for a number of years now, we’ve only been to three state parks. Starting in 2025, we’re going to fix that by visiting all of the 59 state parks in Tennessee (not all in one year though, ok, because that would be a lot).
Below, you’ll find a list of all the state parks sorted by region. As we visit them, I’ll check the park off the list and write a post about visiting each spot.
Current Tennessee State Park Count: 2/59
State Parks by Region
Middle Tennessee is listed first since I’m based in Nashville, and at the moment, we haven’t made it to any parks outside of that region yet.
