In a recent meeting of the Tennessee Joint Committee, members gathered to discuss an exciting new development in Wayne County that promises to enhance public recreation opportunities. Nestled along the picturesque Horseshoe Bend Road, a stunning 448.8-acre property along the Buffalo River is set to become a vital addition to Tennessee's natural landscape.

The Tennessee State Parks Conservancy is spearheading the acquisition of this beautiful oxbow bend, utilizing funds from the Harris Conservation Trust. This strategic move aims to preserve the area's natural beauty while providing a space for outdoor activities and enjoyment for the citizens of Tennessee.

Once the acquisition is finalized, the property will be transformed into a recreational area open to the public. This initiative reflects a growing commitment to enhancing access to nature and promoting outdoor recreation across the state. As discussions continue, the anticipation builds for what this new park will bring to the community and the broader region.
