Roan Mountain State Park, Roan Mountain, TN

Roan Mountain State Park encompasses 2,006 acres of southern Appalachian forest at the base of 6,285 foot Roan Mountain. Park

elevation ranges from 3,000 feet in the valley to around 3,700 feet on surrounding ridges. Rich hardwood forests allow for a great

diversity of life and a wide range of outdoor activities. Park guests have opportunities to hike along creeks and ridges, fish for trout, play

tennis, swim, tour a century old farmhouse, join rangers and naturalists for educational programs, and enjoy mountain music concerts.

History of the area fauna and flora

Activities Include: Cabins, Hiking Trails, Fishing, Swimming, Camping,

Park Features: Carver’s Gap & Miller’s Homestead

Carver’s Gap (Carver's Gap, a low point in the ridgeline of Roan Mountain, is 8

miles past the park on highway 143. As you drive up the road you leave Roan

Mountain State Park and enter Cherokee National Forest, which is under the

jurisdiction of the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). The parking lot at the gap provides

access to the Appalachian Trail (AT). To the north, the AT crosses a series of grassy

bald, virtually treeless areas that offer unobstructed views of the Blue Ridge Mountains

in Tennessee and North Carolina. This 10 mile stretch of bald is touted by many AT

thru hikers as one of the most beautiful sections of the entire trail. To the south, the AT

climbs to the high point of the Roan Mountain ridge - 6,285 foot Roan High Knob.)

Miller’s Homestead (The Miller House was built in 1909 and is now preserved as a

reminder of the way folks used to live in these mountains. A barn, corn crib, hog pen, root

cellar, smoke house, chicken house, spring house and, of course, an outhouse surround the

old frame house.)

The Carter Family Memorial Music Center, a non-profit organization, serves fans and

supporters of old-time country and folk music through the presentation of weekly

performances at the Carter Family Fold, in Hiltons, Virginia. It also honors the memory of

the first family of country music, the legendary Carter Family (A.P. Carter, Sara Carter, and

Maybelle Carter), whose first recordings (in 1927) are credited with giving birth to the

commercial country music industry. The Carter Family Memorial Music Center was founded

and is directed by Janette Carter, daughter of A.P. and Sara, who with Sara's cousin

Maybelle, comprised the original Carter Family.
