Tim’s Ford State Park, located on the Tims Ford Reservoir in the rolling hills of southern middle Tennessee, is an outstanding recreational area and fishing paradise. Long before the construction of Tims Ford Dam on the headwaters of the Elk River, the area was used extensively by the Indians as a hunting and fishing territory. Archaeological excavations uncovered numerous artifacts and occupational sites, indicating that man had occupied the area as much as 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.
The 10,700 acre Tims Ford Lake is one of the most picturesque in Tennessee and is regarded as one of the top bass fishing and recreational lakes in the Southeast. The park has almost 5 miles of paved trails that allow the hiker and cyclist to explore the natural surroundings of Tims Ford Lake.
Directions: The park is located at 570 Tims Ford Drive, Winchester, Tennessee. For specific directions, call the park office at (931)962-1183.
