Roan Mountain State Park, State park in Carter County, Tennessee.
Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the park contains 2,006 acres of hardwood forest near the Tennessee-North Carolina border at 2,972 feet elevation.
The Miller Farmstead, established in 1870 with a house built in 1910, stands as a preserved example of early mountain settlement within the park.
The annual Roan Mountain Rhododendron Festival takes place in June, celebrating the largest natural rhododendron garden with regional crafts and music performances.
The park provides 107 camping sites for tents and RVs, 30 rental cabins, three picnic pavilions, and a heated swimming pool open from Memorial Day through mid-August.
During winter, the park offers cross-country skiing opportunities, while clear days allow views extending to the Charlotte skyline from the mountain peak.
