Governor Bill Lee's Administration Establishes Record 14 New State Parks in Tennessee, Culminating with Angel's Hollow

Tennessee is set to dedicate its 70th state park, Angel's Hollow, on November 6, 2026. This dedication marks a significant milestone as it represents the 14th new state park established during Governor Bill Lee's administration, a record for any single administration in Tennessee's history. Angel's Hollow State Park will encompass approximately 2,500 acres near the Hamilton and Rhea County border, formed by the transfer of 1,305 acres of McDonald Farm from Hamilton County and existing state-owned parcels. The Tennessee General Assembly approved $45.3 million in the state's fiscal year 2027 budget to support the new park. Governor Lee and First Lady Maria Lee selected the name Angel's Hollow to reflect the landscape's peaceful character. The park's visitor center is planned for Sale Creek, and the dedication will coincide with the opening of the Hamilton County Fair at McDonald Farm.
