Frozen Head State Natural Area ![]() Frozen Head State Park and Natural Area is situated in the beautiful Cumberland Mountains of Eastern Tennessee near Wartburg. The 11,876 acres of relatively undisturbed forest contain some of the richest wildflower areas in Tennessee. The mountainous terrain varies from an elevation of 1,340 feet to over 3,000 feet on 14 different mountain peaks. Frozen Head, elevation of 3,324, is one of the highest peaks in Tennessee west of the Great Smoky Mountains, and from its observation tower one has a commanding view of the surrounding region. The Cumberland Plateau, Tennessee Ridge and Valley, and the Great Smoky Mountians are plainly visible on a clear day. In winter, the mountain peaks are often capped with snow or ice while the lower valleys remain unadorned, thus giving the parks namesake, Frozen Head. The parks lush vegetation, small streams, waterfalls and beautiful mountains make Frozen Head one of Tennessee's most scenic parks. There are over 50 miles of foot trails which meander throughout the natural area, passing by waterfalls, rock shelters and giant mountain-top cap rocks
