The park is not connected with the Natchez Trace Parkway, administered by the National Park Service. Administration of this area is shared by the TN Division of State Parks, the TN Division of Forestry, and the TN Wildlife Resources Agency. The area provides not only recreation, but managed hunting as well. Legend has it that the tree grew from a pecan presented to a settler by one of Andrew Jackson's men as they returned from the Battle of New Orleans. Call the park office for more information.
Tour buses are welcome.
However, please call and make reservations.
