Standing Stone State Park
Standing Stone
State Park covers nearly 11,000 acres on the Cumberland Plateau of north-central
Tennessee. The quaint and rustic park is noted for its outstanding scenery,
spring wildflowers, fossils and other natural diversity. The park takes its
name from the "Standing Stone," an eight-foot tall rock standing upright
on a sandstone ledge, which was supposedly used as a boundary line between two
separate Indian nations. When the rock fell, the Indians placed a portion of
it upon an improvised monument to preserve it. The stone is still preserved
in Monterey, Tennessee.
