About This SurveyApproximately 1,300 acres in Hamilton and Rhea counties will be transferred to the State of Tennessee to create the park, located near Graysville. With the addition of existing state-owned parcels, the future park’s total area will be approximately 2500 acres. The site borders McDonald Farm in Hamilton County and connects to the Justin P. Wilson Cumberland Trail State Park, a more than 300-mile linear park that stretches along the Cumberland Plateau from the Chickamauga Gorge to the Cumberland Gap.
As planning begins for this new state park, we are seeking public input to help guide the park’s future development and recreational opportunities. This survey is intended to gather feedback about how people currently use parks and outdoor spaces in the region, as well as what amenities, experiences, and features they would like to see at this new state park.
