Tennessee State Park

⚠️ Flint Creek Trail Closure and Advisory

The Flint Creek Trail beyond the Flint Creek Backcountry Campsite is temporarily closed due to storm damage caused by the heavy rainfall on July 11–12. The Flint Creek Backcountry Campsite remains accessible by following the Rocky Fork Trail to the Flint Creek Trail. Visitors should be aware that trail conditions on the Flint Creek Trail are rougher than normal due to the recent rainfall. Please use extra caution while hiking to and from the campsite. Trail conditions throughout Rocky Fork State Park have also been impacted by the recent storms. Hikers should expect muddy, uneven, and potentially hazardous conditions on many trails. Please use caution, allow extra travel time, and be prepared for changing trail conditions during your visit. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as park staff work to assess and restore affected areas.
