Edgar Evins State Park, Nature reserve on Center Hill Lake, Tennessee.
Edgar Evins State Park encompasses 6,300 acres of forest land with hiking trails, campgrounds, and water activities along the northeastern shore of Center Hill Lake.
The park, established in 1975, honors James Edgar Evins, a Smithville businessman and state senator who supported the development of Center Hill Dam in the 1940s.
Archaeological surveys near the park discovered prehistoric village sites and a platform mound at Mine Lick Creek, indicating early Native American settlements in this area.
The park features a 300-slip marina, 34 rental cabins, 60 camping platforms, two boat ramps, and multiple trails for different experience levels.
The park sits at the geological intersection of the Eastern Highland Rim and Central Basin, creating a landscape of distinctive rolling hills called knobs.
