Clinch River Valley State Park
Opened on the Clinch River in Hancock County, about 70 miles northeast of Knoxville, on one of the most ecologically diverse rivers in the country. The state means it to be a park built around a paddling route; for now it lists fishing and birding.

Every fact on this page but the summary at the top is the state's, read on the date above, except the drive: that is Valhalla's route on OpenStreetMap's roads from Franklin's Public Square to the park office, with no traffic, rounded to five minutes. Visits are the park plan's count for the year named, mostly from traffic counters. How the guide was made.
