What this tracks
This dataset records amenities and accessibility features at Tennessee state parks, from boat ramps to wheelchair-friendly trails.
Why it matters to you
Planning a family reunion? This tells you which parks have group lodges (like Bicentennial Capitol Mall’s amphitheater) and catering options. Wheelchair users can check Wheelchair_Friendly_Paved_Trails before visiting. Campers can instantly see if a park offers backcountry sites or RV hookups instead of calling ranger stations.
