The Meeman Museum and Nature Center is named for Edward J. Meeman, courageous conservation editor of Scripps-Howard newspapers who helped establish this park and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The park maintains a boat ramp on the Mississippi River. Deer, turkey, beaver and some 200 species of birds are abundant. The pool at Meeman Shelby is scheduled to reopen in mid-June after being closed for renovations. Specific dates will be announced soon.
Tour buses are welcome.
