There are no hook-ups. 13x13' tent pads can accommodate two tents and six people. Sites include picnic tables, lantern hangers, and fire rings. A system of trails crisscrosses the Cove. Both horses and hikers share some trails while others are for hikers only.
Hikes range from a short, easy nature trail to a multi-night trip.
Bicycles are not allowed on the trails or off- road. Fishing Fishing is permitted year-round in the park, but a Tennessee or North Carolina fishing license is required. Either state license is valid throughout the park and no trout stamp is necessary. Licenses may be purchased in nearby towns. Park fishing regulations are available free of charge at any visitor center or ranger station.
