    We had a great day visiting the park, from Reading, UK. Managed to get up to the Fire Tower, and pour some water on my head, and ride the Old Mac North back down - long workable ride - to collapse at the gate. Thankyou!

    I would love to come and visit one day when things are back to normal in the US and see the park that is home to the Barkely marathons.

    Great trails and wildflowers, not as crowded as the Smokies.

    I live close to Indianapolis, IN... and have only seen Frozen Head State Park in magazines, videos, and pictures. Once my registration for BFC 50K is selected, I'm going to enjoy every step at Frozen Head... going up or down! 🏁

    My husband and I absolutely LOVE Frozen Head State Park! We hike there 2 to 3 times a week. The rangers are so friendly and knowledgeable. With guided hikes every month also. The trails are so clean and well kept. The mountains, waterfalls, trees, flowers, & critters just take our breath away every time. The forest is ever changing all year round. So lucky it's practically in our back yard!

    A botanical treasure and a running naturalists delight. Trying to be positive about the new construction, hoping it will help more people appreciate the area, without contributing to the demise of the remote, rugged beauty of the park.

    I've been hiking at Frozen Head since I moved to East Tennessee a decade ago. I love seeing so many birds and wildflowers here each spring.

    This is for me and my mother, both! We have hiked a lot of miles in the park over the years, and always enjoy it.

About Frozen Head State Park

Frozen Head State Park and Natural Area encompasses more than 24,000 acres of wilderness area and is named for a 3,324-foot peak in the Cumberland Mountains, the top of which is often shrouded in ice or snow in the winter months. The impressive entrance leads visitors into a vestige of densely forested, unspoiled mountain splendor — once common throughout the Cumberland Plateau.

There are 20 primitive tent campsites within the park. Fifty miles of backpacking and day-hiking trails provide wildlife viewing opportunity. Many of the trailheads are located near the park office, with lesser-used trailheads located at Armes Gap and just off Highway 62 to the south. Most of the trails are open only to hiking, although mountain biking is allowed on the Lookout Tower Trail, which leads to the summit of Frozen Head.
