| South Cumberland Park is made up of ten regions that are located in over 4 counties. These ten regions diverse topography offers something for just about any outdoor enthusiast. While Carter State Natural Area is known for Lost Cove Cave and Savage Gulf for its Stone Door, these are only a small taste for what awaits on the many hiking trails found in South Cumberland State Park. Along the hiking trails in South Cumberland State Park there are many waterfalls, bluff views, stone formations, and a wide variety of plants such as a Pink Lady Slipper. The South Cumberland Visitor Center is a great place to get more information about hiking trails, obtain a hiking map, and view some of the beautiful photos taken within the park boundaries. | |
