We love staying in our beautiful Tennessee State Parks and Paris Landing is one of our favorites. They have lovely chalet-type cabins with all the amenities of much more expensive accommodations. Every state park has one cabin that is dog-friendly since we travel with our daughter, her husband, their baby, and their big black lab, Random. The cabins are large and perfect for our family.
Not far from the park is the natural area of Land Between the Lakes. Wildflowers grow abundantly in this large natural area between the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers.
