Came here for the Odyssey geocache. But then ended up viewing the cabins, taking a trail abd see the blue water pond. Neat place.
MoreThe park and museum were both very educational regarding Native Americans living in the area before the Trail of Tears re-location. The park had short, very pretty trails to walk with points/places of interest along the way. Plan to spend 2 - 3 hours if you take in all there is to see in the park and in the museum. It was a very enjoyable time!
MoreGreat place for short hikes, gorgeous scenery. Fairly easy hike for the family. The Blue Springs Hole is impressive and the walk along the stream s very peaceful.
MoreFantastic small park dedicated to the history of the Cherokee of the area. Blue Hole nature trail was a great walk with interesting signs about the Blue Hole and the re created Cherokee buildings.
MoreAlthough the buildings are not the originals, it is interesting to walk through and learn about Cherokee life before the Trail of Tears. Also this is the place where some of the treaties were signed that led up to the Trail of Tears
