Consisting of just over 260 acres of land that served as the seat of the Cherokee national government until 1838, Red Clay State Park is an uncrowded park rich in both history and natural beauty.
The park's interpretive facility contains a number of informative exhibits about the culture and history of the Native Americans that formerly inhabited the area, and there is a 500-person amphitheater that regularly hosts theatrical performances.
There are also two relatively easy hiking trails for visitors to enjoy, one that leads past the stunning Blue Hole Spring and another that loops over a hill and through the forest.
