Waterline Construction Project to Get Underway in March at Bledsoe Creek State Park

Gallatin, Tenn. – Bledsoe Creek State Park has announced that construction will begin on a much-needed waterline replacement project in March.

These upgrades will require the closing of park campgrounds and public restrooms for the duration of the construction project, which is expected to be complete in mid-June. While visitors may park vehicles at the park office and access the trails, no traffic will be allowed within the park during construction.

“While we regret the inconvenience to our park visitors, replacement of these facilities will benefit all park users in the long run and we hope to have the construction completed well before the peak of the summer camping season,” said Wayne Bomar, park manager.

Located off of Highway 25 in Sumner County, this 164-acre park is situated on the Bledsoe Creek embayment of the U.S. Corps of Engineers Old Hickory Reservoir near the old 1780s settlement of Cairo.
