Use of the chair is free but reservations must be made at Calendly. Information, forms and training will be provided to individuals using the chair and their accompanying companion.

Rocky Fork State Park is 2,075 acres of scenic wilderness in Unicoi County, in the southern Appalachian Mountains of Upper East Tennessee. The park is approximately 30 miles from Johnson City and 10 miles from Erwin, the county seat. Rocky Fork is Tennessee's newest state park and it is surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest. Rocky Fork State Park is the only Tennessee State Park that connects directly to the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.
This predominately Appalachian Cove Forest park was saved from residential development because of its biologically diverse habitat, the Historic Battle of Flint Creek Site, and its exceptionally clean streams and Rocky Fork watershed, which includes the park's namesake, Rocky Fork Creek.
