A 91-acre area known as the Roan Mountain Gateway is now in U.S. Forest Service ownership after the Southern Appalachians Highlands Conservancy recently transferred it to public ownership.

Tennessee's coldest state park is popular in winter


ROAN MOUNTAIN — There is no other state park in Tennessee that has a winter quite like Roan Mountain State Park. This is a place where temperatures fall below freezing and stay there for lengthy periods of time, where snow stubbornly refuses to melt and the place where cross country skiers and snowshoers go to enjoy their favorite season.
