I have also passed through Paris Missouri and New Paris Ohio, but no Eiffel Towers spotted in either. The Eiffel Tower in Paris Tennessee is a 70-foot tall 1:20 scale replica. It was originally built in 1990 by engineering students at Christian Brothers University in Memphis for the Memphis in May festival, which honored France that year. Using Gustave Eiffel's original drawings, they crafted the tower from 500 pieces of Douglas fir and 6,000 steel rods, donating over 10,000 hours of labor. When the wooden structure began to wear down, local craftsman Keith Jackson rebuilt it in steel in 2002. Today it stands proudly here in Eiffel Tower Park, surrounded by walking trails, a splash pad, a disc golf course, and more. Bienvenue à Paris, y'all. Enjoy the view from the ground. There is no going up this Eiffel Tower. [Round number review 26300 overall - 1121 of 2026 - 626 in Tennessee] * The Eiffel Tower in Paris Texas is 65 feet tall, including its cowboy hat. ** The Las Vegas replica reaches 540 feet.

This is the most boring state park I've ever been to out of around 25 TN state parks (and several…read morein KY and SC). However, I say this as someone that loves to hike and usually long distances. I drove here from Franklin, TN. The drive is around three hours. It was a bit aggravating as 95% of the way here was one lane roads that will get you stuck behind semis going 15-20 under for 15-20 miles. SR-432 is littered with potholes and desperately needs redone. Also, for reference, it's June and 94 degrees in Greenfield, TN. I chose this state park because it's a hot day and I knew my dog couldn't be out long. It was worth it in a way for me because I'm trying to visit every TN state park ‍ Keep in mind that there are only two trails at this state park, both paved (well one is a boardwalk so wood I guess). I started at the visitor center which was closed and had no posted hours. I noticed the park was pretty empty, only one other car and I didn't end up seeing any people here. I went at 1 pm on a Tuesday for reference. There were some t shirts in the visitor center. If you park at the visitor center and walk behind it towards wooden signage, you will get to the boardwalk trail. There isn't a map of the trail at the start, but there is some history info that's somewhat legible if you can squint past the wealth of bird poop. Once on the wooden boardwalk, it's pretty and well taken care of. There are plenty of spots to sit, but also a million mosquitos so I didn't want to stop moving for long (I forgot to put on bug spray). Just a little bit into the boardwalk there is construction and there weren't any warnings at the beginning that the trail was closed past a certain point. The water around the trees was mostly dried up from the heat so it might be better to go when it's not hot or after a lot of rain. You can hear birds here, but the only wildlife I saw was a small lizard scurrying across the boardwalk. I then went to the picnic area parking and ate lunch. It was a nice little spot to eat lunch and there are tons of benches and tables around this area, some more tucked away. Park bathrooms are so hit or miss, but this bathroom is nice. It looks newly renovated and it was clean and cold inside. I walked the trail after. It wasn't anything too exciting, but it was a storybook trail and the story was legible throughout the entire trail so good for kids. It was more shaded than the boardwalk, but you might find a tick on you after this one. There's a basketball hoop, a playground, and lots of those little park grills. There are paper maps available by the picnic area parking. As for dog friendliness, there aren't poop bags and the refillable dog water bowl is broken and gross. However, there is a faucet next to it with a half broken concrete divot that will hold enough water long enough for your dog to drink water. I would be careful where your dog steps though and don't let them lay down because there's a jagged piece of unmovable mesh wire poking up. There's a little garden, but I will say it's hard to tell what plants are what because there are so many weeds. Overall, an underwhelming state park that you might just have to visit in order to check it off your list.

Happy Hollow looks fantastic and I definitely would've loved to stay there. They have hook-ups, bathrooms, and showers. There is no longer a playground at happy hallow like it shows on the map and lists on the website. We went to Eva Beach recreation area and there is a playground there but it's about a 12 minute drive from the campgrounds. The recreation area had a sandy beach, but a foul smell and the water was very dirty. There are 2 large factories that make a humming noise that can be heard from the campgrounds and constantly seeing the large plumes of smoke from them on both sides of the lake ruins the nature side of things. The cabins were nice. Lakefront camping spots are not kid friendly - lake on one side and a road that people fly down on the other. I personally wouldn't recommend this park especially for families but if you have to stay here then stay at happy hollow.

You end up feeding the beginning animals and have nothing left for the ending animals. I wish there was a half way through point to buy more food because we would definitely buy more! Missed money opportunity there for sure. The camels took our buckets of food and the food got all over the rental car - had to take it to get vacuumed out which was fine, just beware. The animals were great and seemed really friendly - almost too friendly because the llamas/alpacas stood right in front of our car and wouldn't move for us to go around them. It was cute to see! My kids had a great time! It was a tad long, wish it was like 15 minutes shorter as we didn't end up doing the zoo at the end because we had to get on the road. You can tell they maintain everything because everything was very clean and taken care of. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

They will put their head in the car and try to take the entire bucket. The lamas are fun and will walk with your car. The ostriches don't eat a lot but will stick their heads in the car and hit your bucket a little hard. Not mean. Just hold on to it firmly. There are A LOT of animals. The deer also enjoy eating from your bucket but are not as forceful. The walking zoo is okay. Get some carrots from the gift shop to feed the giraffe. That was pretty cool too Overall, totally unexpected fun. Go for it. It's worth it.
