Review:
Cedars of Lebanon State Park is a 900-acre park in Wilson County, a part of the Cedars of Lebanon State Forest.
Early American settlers noticed many Eastern Red Cedars growing in the area and were reminded of the famous Biblical cedars from Mount Lebanon in the Mediterranean area, giving the area the name Cedars of Lebanon.
Cedars of Lebanon Park was established in 1955. The park is home to the unique natural ecosystems with natural rock gardens called cedar glades, caused by the proximity of limestone rock to the surface of the ground, making the soil layer very thin or absent.
The area has an inhospitable, harsh, desert-like look that is home to nineteen rare and endangered species of plants.
There are eight miles of hiking trails meandering through the park. It is possible to see fox, rabbits, deer, squirrel, and turkey. The park is popular for picnicking, hiking and horseback riding.
