About Hiwassee Scenic River State Park
The Hiwassee Scenic River State Park is a Tennessee state park in Polk County, Tennessee, United States, that provides access to the Hiwassee River. In 1972, a 23-mile (37 km) stretch of the Hiwassee River, extending from the North Carolina state line to U.S. Route 411, was the first river to be designated by the State Scenic River Program. In September 2025, the park, which had been called the Hiwassee/Ocoee Scenic River State Park since 1983, was split into two separate parks with each taking the name of their respective river.
