The park encompasses 263-acres of narrow valleys formerly used as cotton and pasture land. There are also forested ridges that average 200 feet or more above the valley floor. The site contains a natural landmark, the Blue Hole Spring, which arises from beneath a limestone ledge to form a deep pool that flows into Mill Creek, a tributary of the Conasauga and Coosa River system. The spring was used by the Cherokee for their water supply during council meetings.

The park contains a visitor center with exhibits, theater and library; picnic area, one picnic shelter available for group reservations; 2 amphitheaters; 3 trails; historic replica buildings; and a natural spring.
