One of the MANY things I love about Tennessee is the fact that the state parks are free. I think many Tennesseans take this for granted!

I was born and raised in Nebraska and unfortunately our parks are not free there. You have to get a permit to put on your car in order to park in any of the state parks. The permits are required when entering all state parks, state historical parks and state recreation areas. Now, you can get a permit for $20 for the year, however, your having to pay to go enjoy the outdoors! It is absolutely fabulous that Tennessee has chosen to make this a free thing and I think it encourages us to go out and be in the parks and enjoy the beautiful landscape of Tennessee.

The other thing I love about this is our Greenways. They are beautiful, recreational, and oh soo much fun! I know I have taken my daughter there a few times just to take pictures. You have such beautiful landscape for your pictures.

One of our agents, Dawn Franklin, often bikes from the Dam at Percy Priest all the way to the Titans Stadium! Here are some beautiful pictures she has taken along her path. With fall setting in and the trees turning colors, I’m sure it’s just getting more beautiful!

 So, this fall, head out on the greenways! Go check out some of our incredible State Parks! Enjoy the wonderful landscape of Tennessee and take advantage of the awesome gift our State has given us by allowing us to enjoy it all free of charge!!
