an ideal place for a picnic..
Port Royal SP is located in Adams, TN. The day use area consists of a picnic area, fishing, walking bridges, and canoe access. When you see the forks in the river, you’ll understand why this area was ideal for a trading community. There are damaged remnants of a covered bridge, but needless to say access is prohibited. A recognized site on the Trail of Tears National Trail, it’s an ideal place for a picnic. While you are in general area, you should also stop by Dunbar Cave SP in nearby Clarksville, TN.

Peaceful setting and the Trail of Tears!
The significance of this park is that the historic Trail of Tears crosses here! The Trail of Tears is where nine of the 13 Cherokee Indian groups being relocated from Tennessee to Oklahoma crossed during harsh winter conditions in 1838 and 1839. Thousands of men, women and children died on the forced march! The park also has a cheerier side: shaded picnic sites, a crossing bridge, hiking trails, plenty of wildlife and an opportunity to fish in the Red River. There is also a historic trading post across the street!
