Located off U.S. Hwy 70, the park is named for Military Governor Andrew Johnson.  This 600-acre park on the east side of Kentucky Lake overlooks the site of the Battle of Johnsonville.  Interpretive tours are available.

A variety of planned programs and activities including guided tours, slide shows and wildlife presentations are available.  The Wildlife Presentation, History of Tennessee and Battle of Johnsonville programs are offered year-round and travel to schools.  A park naturalist is on duty throughout the summer months.

Some of the activities include playgrounds, volleyball, badminton, basketball, horseshoes, and pin-pong.  Equipment can be checked out from the park office free of charge.

A six mile hiking trail leads the visitors throughout the park area.  Hikers will pass by the historical portions of Johnsonville and the Union encampment including well-preserved redoubts, rifle pits, cemeteries, railroad turn-around, and home locations.

Directions: Take I-40 to exit 143.  Take Highway 13 North for 13 miles.  Take Highway 70 West to New Johnsonville, then follow the signs to the park.  For specific directions, see http://www.mapquest.com
