Middle Fork Bottoms becomes Tennessee's newest state park

Middle Fork Bottoms has become the newest Tennessee State Park. Located between Jackson and Three Way, the park spans approximately 860 acres and is part of a floodplain restoration project boasting more than 200 acres of restored wetlands, two miles of revitalized streams, and 250,000 newly planted hardwood trees. The new park was created as part of a collaboration between The Nature Conservancy, the West Tennessee River Basin Authority, and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. Additionally, the park offers four fishing areas, waterfowl habitats, paddle craft access to the Middle Fork Forked Deer River and five miles of walking trails.
