About Horse Creek Recreation Area
Horse Creek Recreation Area is located eight miles from Greeneville, off TN 107 north. This recreation area is nestled into a hardwood cove beside its namesake, Horse Creek. There are facilities for camping and day-use activities including hiking, fishing, picnicking and swimming. During the 1930's, a rustic picnic pavilion and swimming area were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Company 1455, Camp Cordell Hull, stationed in Unicoi, TN. The Horse Creek Recreation Area is planned to underago area rehabilitation and site wide improvements. Please visit Horse Creek Recreation Area (arcgis.com) to learn more about the project.
