    We’re so thankful to have Middle Fork Bottoms State Park right here in our community. We visit nearly every day—riding bikes, walking our dogs, and bird watching. It’s one of those places where you notice something new every time. We’re excited to see how the park continues to grow and look forward to being part of it for years to come.

    Our Middle Fork State Park is one of the greatest assets brought to rural West Tn that is reachable from the entire Golden Circle. I have been able to use it almost daily to enjoy God’s creation and exercise my bird dog regularly.

About Middle Fork Bottoms State Park

Nestled in the heart of West Tennessee, Middle Fork Bottoms State Park offers a unique blend of rich history and natural beauty. Spanning approximately 860 acres, this park transformed from a floodplain restoration project in 2018 into a thriving habitat. Originally managed by the West Tennessee River Basin Authority, the park boasts 250,000 newly planted hardwood trees, over 200 acres of restored wetlands, and two miles of revitalized streams.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the park’s diverse landscapes, which include fishing areas, paddle craft access on Middle Fork Lake, and four miles of scenic walking trails. The park features multiple wetland areas, five lakes (four of which are fishable), and native grassland habitat. Visitors will also find a newly planted bald cypress grove covering five acres, various waterfowl habitats, and vast areas of sycamore and cottonwood trees.
