Individual Park Management Plans
The Comprehensive System Plan has provided a larger framework to inform and guide the creation of each park’s Strategic Management Plan. These plans are grounded in four cornerstone goals:
The Resources
Exemplary Natural and Cultural Stewardship
Goal: Tennessee State Parks will be nationally recognized for exemplary stewardship of natural and cultural resources.
The Amenities
Well-Maintained Facilities and Amenities
Goal: Tennessee State Parks will be well maintained with facilities and amenities that delight visitors and make Tennesseans proud.
The Visitor
Welcoming and Inviting to All
Goal: Tennessee State Parks will be the most accessible, welcoming, and inviting system of parks that enriches Tennesseans and visitors through excellent interpretation, education, and resource-based recreation.
The Operations
Operational Excellence
Goal: Tennessee State Parks will be a national model for operational excellence in a state park system.
Building on this foundation, strategic management plans were built for individual parks. These Strategic Management Plans can be viewed below. Additionally, this year 12 individual park strategic management plans are being reviewed and will be open to public comment. 2026 Draft Strategic Management Plans can be viewed below, or please visit the TN State Parks Notices & Hearings page.
