South Cumberland State Park
|
|
South Cumberland is one of the newer Tennessee State Parks. Almost all of our
park lies atop the Cumberland Plateau and, unlike most state parks, ours is made
up of ten different areas located in four different counties. The Visitor Center
is located between Monteagle and Tracy City on Highway 41. From here the various
components of our park are managed. Visitors can also obtain information and
directions from the visitor center.
Picnic Facilities
That park has two picnic pavilions that can accommodate up to 15 people each.
The pavilion at the visitor center rents for $20 per day and the Grundy Forest
pavilion rents for $10 per day. Pavilions may be rented for up to one year in
advance.
There are eight individual picnic areas, each equipped with grills. The seating
capacity ranges from ten to 50 depending on the particular picnic site.

Programs are available on all topics of natural resources (animals, plants,
etc.) upon request. A monthly program schedule is available at the Visitor
