Big South Fork National Park: Trailhead SignIf you're thinking of moving to the Big South Fork, here in Jamestown, Tennessee, and you've already bought a piece of land and had it cleared, built a house and a barn, gotten your fencing up and horses squared away and have made some new friends to ride with, the only issue you have now is that there are "so many trails; so little time."

There are a number of trailheads in the Big South Fork national park, where you park your trailer and ride out from there. People generally make plans to ride in different locations, and they will meet at one of these trailheads. It's usually a graveled area, designated for this purpose, with plenty of room to turn your rig around. There are usually hitching rails and there may even be a mounting block.

Big South Fork National Park; Parking At Trailhead

Trails are very well marked and maintained by the National Park service. They vary in degree of difficulty and you can plan a route that accommodates your skill level and style of riding. Most riders carry the waterproof map of Big South Fork that has the trailheads and trails defined, and many riders also carry a GPS.

Because the Big South Fork national park straddles the Tennessee/Kentucky border, you'll find Big South Fork trails in both states. I recommend that you purchase Russ Manning's book, 100 Trails of The Big South Fork: Tennessee and Kentucky. It will tell you how to get there and what to expect when you do(Don't leave home without it!).

Well, you've helped me understand better why some of my horsey friends from around here like to come down there to ride the trails.  That's some pretty stuff.

I live minutes from the Cumberland Trailhead into Big South Fork National Park, in Spruce Creek Acres, an equestrian community that abuts the park itself. Horses are a major part of daily life here and this is a very active, supportive horse-oriented community. It is a gift to work as a realtor here, listing horse properties and selling horse properties to horse people! We joke that I've probably done more real estate on horseback than off! If you want to "live where you love to ride," let me help you find YOUR Big South Fork horse property .
