Blending history and outdoor recreation are Benton County’s Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park and Eva Beach. Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park began as a local park constructed by a Depression Era work recovery program. As a Tennessee State Park, it now homes the Pilot Knob Interpretive Center and Museum. The Museum features the historical culture of residents along the Tennessee River as well as the history of the park and Civil War history.
Overnight accommodation includes cabins as well as RV camping or tent camping.
