Friends of Fall Creek Falls is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated
to preserving the natural and cultural riches of Fall Creek Falls State Park.
Tennessee's Largest state park, with over 25,000 acres,
Fall Creek Falls State Park offers some of the most
spectacular scenery in the South. Over half the park is designated a
natural area wilderness. Numerous spectacular water falls and streams grace the park.
A 345 acre lake
has yielded state record bluegill and channel catfish. Renowned Civil
War genre painter, Gilbert Gaul, worked from his homesite within the
present boundary of the park.
The purpose of the "Friends" organization is to foster
conservation and
educational efforts in support
of
Fall Creek Falls State Park, and to assist the Park in its efforts
to better preserve and protect its existing land resources. This includes
but is not limited to the many natural, cultural and scenic features
and to assist in providing quality recreational and interpretive experiences.
