The Eiffel Tower is lit up beautifully at night time.
During the day the park offers a decent walking trail, disc golf, tennis courts, a play area for children, restrooms, a picnic area, a swimming pool for a fee, and more. There is plenty of room to walk and play with pets. It's a clean and well kept park.

My wife and I got to stop here this March and enjoyed the nice weather and the beauty of the refuge. This NWR is located in north western Tennessee near the town of Springville. It was created as an area for migratory birds. We very much enjoyed the hiking trails and utilized the observation decks for some of our photo opportunities. We were able to spot many kinds of small animals and birds. We thoroughly enjoyed the new visitor interpretation center and chatting with the Friends of the refuge and staff. This refuge includes many other opportunities for visitors to utilize like the fishing, hunting and great photo opportunities. Come and bring your family (especially children), binoculars, camera, and enjoy what this area of Tennessee has to offer. This is a wonderful place to see the beauty of the outdoors and a must stop on your visit list.

The Hazel Folk Art Gallery breaks the trend of boring art galleries! It is very enjoyable and whether it is your first time or your 100th time visiting the Hazel Folk Art Gallery you will find yourself spending hours listening to the hilarious and sometimes incredible folk tales of Glenn Earl Newman!
He grew up in the Louisiana bayou, in Cajun country, and his tales reveal the countless adventures he had with his best friends, his family, and the numerous "swamp critters" that will have you bent over laughing! Like any great folk artist, Glenn is able to bring to life each of his drawings for a truly memorable experience.
He is also very fond of the military. Loves to hear a story or two and to tell one of his own. His own son served in the Army as a Green Beret before passing in 2003.
He has over 1500 pieces of art that are all hand drawn. He also has other work ranging from murals, gourd art, and whittles. His gallery also has pieces from other artist as well-(clay pots, portraits, wire art, etc).
The garage-turned-art gallery is a tight fit and not large enough to display all of his art. Depending on the weather, it can be hot/cold inside. Also there is a lot of tidbits that he sells as well such as books, jewelry, glassware.
Be sure to sign in on his guest book when you first walk in. It's fascinating to know people from all over the world has seen his gallery; Australia, Hungary, Germany, Canada, India, Brazil, are just a few that popped out when I scanned the guest book.
Lastly, don't be shy to take pictures, ask questions or tell stories of your own! If you have kids they will really enjoy his Folk Tales and will brag to their friends about the swamp critter gang in their low rider Cadillac or the fearsome half goat half alligator Mutantgator! Regardless of the tale, you will be glad you stopped by the Hazel Folk Art Gallery!
