Cherokee Trail of Tears State Park builds on an existing place of reflection, learning, and connection, where visitors gather to honor those who suffered and those who persevered along what has become known as the “Trail of Tears.” Located in Meigs County at the confluence of the Hiwassee and Tennessee Rivers near the historic Blythe Ferry crossing, the park represents a site of deep cultural and historical significance.
