The park location is quite off the beaten path. But it is worth the effort to get to it. I toured the site on a ranger-led program and that was worthwhie.

I don’t usually leave bad reviews but, this place got me mad. We arrived about 12 noon.

This scenic park is a must visit. The beautiful land the Cherokee owned is on display here. Their culture was amazing. The park is well kept. The Trail of Tears is hard to fathom.
