Bledsoe Creek State Park is a 169-acre park in Sumner County, Tennessee, on backwaters created when Old Hickory Dam was completed in 1954. First developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and designated a state park in 1973, it combines camping, boating, fishing, paddling, hiking, and wildlife observation in a landscape of woods, shoreline, and open ground. Its broader significance lies in the surrounding historic landscape: Native Americans used this area for more than 12,000 years, a Mississippian village stood nearby, frontier violence marked the late 18th century, and the river town of Cairo later rose near the mouth of Bledsoe Creek.
