Fort Loudoun State Park

Fort Loudoun State Park spans 1,200 acres of land, featuring a reconstructed 18th-century British fortification surrounded by the waters of Tellico Reservoir.

The British Colony of South Carolina constructed Fort Loudoun in 1756 during the French and Indian War to secure alliances with the Cherokee Nation.

The fort's interpretative center displays archaeological artifacts and presents educational programs about colonial military life and Native American interactions.

Visitors can access the park daily from 8 AM until sunset, with the museum and visitor center operating from 8 AM to 4:30 PM except Christmas Day.

Three hiking trails traverse the park's peninsula, offering views of both the reconstructed fort structures and the 15,000-acre lake created by damming the Little Tennessee River.
