Henry Horton State Park

Henry Horton State Park is a recreation area along the Duck River with trails for hiking, places to camp, and sports facilities spread across forested land. The grounds include a golf course, tennis courts, and a seasonal swimming pool for visitors to enjoy.

The park was created in 1960 from the former estate of Tennessee's 36th governor, Henry H. Horton. His legacy shaped this place into a public recreation space for the region.

The park maintains multiple sports facilities, including a championship golf course, tennis courts, and seasonal Olympic-sized swimming pool for community activities.

The park has lodging and camping options, and weather can change throughout the year affecting outdoor activities. Plan your visit around the season and expect busier conditions on weekends.

The grounds feature a professional trap and skeet shooting range that draws shooting sports enthusiasts. This specialized facility is uncommon among state parks in the region.
