Kodak, TN – Seven Islands State Birding Park

This State Park was created for birdwatching. The grasslands and the river create a habitat for more than 180 species of birds. The history of this park renews our faith in preserving our lands for their specific purposes. This park was owned and operated by the Kelly family. Their farmhouse is still standing on the property. Preservationists gradually acquired the land and donated it to the Knox County Parks and Recreation Dept.. It became the 56th State Park in Tennessee. Let’s meet at the Cracker Barrell Restaurant at the Straw Plains exit off I-40 East at 9:00 am ET and carpool a short distance to the Park.
