Bledsoe Creek State Park

Bledsoe Creek State Park is a state park in Sumner County, Tennessee, in the southeastern United States. The park consists of 169 acres managed by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.

The park spans much of the west shore of the Bledsoe Creek embayment of Old Hickory Lake, an impoundment of the Cumberland River created with the completion of Old Hickory Dam by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1954.

Bledsoe Creek State Park was developed as a recreational area by the Corps as part of its Old Hickory Dam project and was designated a state park by the state of Tennessee in 1973. The park is primarily a campground and recreational boating and fishing area, although the park has developed several miles of hiking trails and provides environmental programs throughout the year.

With more than 50 campsites, and over 6 miles of hiking trails, Bledsoe Creek State Park is perfect for family vacation or a brisk morning out next to Old Hickory Lake. Fishing is also permitted. More information on this park and many more can be found at the TN State Parks website.
