What if a single day outside could change how a child learns, thinks, and sees the world? Do you remember the first time you spotted wildlife, followed a trail, or stepped into a creek? Today, we know that outdoor education benefits kids in powerful, lasting ways, yet too many children never get the chance to experience it.

These lasting childhood memories don’t come from screens—they come from adventure, from exploring the outdoors. They come from muddy knees, shared laughter on a trail, and teachers turning nature into a living classroom. These moments don’t just create memories; they shape how children see the world.

Today, ensuring kids have access to those moments matters more than ever.

Tennessee’s oldest state park has a strong, vibrant Friends group. Harrison Bay State Park spans 1,200 acres and includes nearly 40 miles of Chickamauga Lake shoreline. TVA originally developed it as a recreation area in the 1930s.

The park’s name comes from a large bay along the Tennessee River’s main channel. That bay covers the old town of Harrison and the last Cherokee Campground. The Cherokee Campground included three villages ruled by one of the last great Cherokee chieftains.

Harrison Bay became Tennessee’s first state park in 1937. Today, it sits in Hamilton County near Chattanooga.
