Bledsoe Creek State Park is rich in history. It was once a prime hunting ground for the Cherokee, Creek, Shawnee and Chickamauga Native American tribes. Once English settlers arrived to the area, the once great herds of animals were dispersed, never to return. The area is home to a wealth of Native American history along with various historical sites nearby. The Bledsoe Creek territory became a Tennessee State Park in 1973.To visit Bledsoe Creek State Park and get the most from your holiday in Gallatin, create itinerary details personal to you using our Gallatin trip planner.

This is the most family-friendly park I've ever seen! Several trails with art and playful descriptions of the scene, playgrounds, observation points, nearly-tame animals, etc. We visited there...

We had a quick RV camping trip here and loved it! It's a beautiful, lakeside place, has very nice campsites, extremely friendly hosts and two good playgrounds for the kids. BTW, per documents at the park, alcohol is allowed in campsites, but not public areas (despite signs on the way in that say it is prohibited).
