Big Ridge takes its name from the long ridges folded across its 3,687 acres near Maynardville. The land was farms and homesteads until TVA acquired it, and it became a state park in 1949. Loyston Pointe looks out on the widest part of the Loyston Sea, the reach of Norris Lake that covered the town of Loyston. The CCC-built gatehouse still stands, and a sit-in here was part of the push to desegregate Tennessee's state parks.

The design: the wide open reach of the Loyston Sea from a wooded ridge at sunset, red clay shores and fall ridges beyond, drawn in a flat vintage park-poster style inside a Tri-Star red frame, with BIG RIDGE up top, TENNESSEE PRIDE® below and the Tri-Star on the left sleeve.

Printed on the Bella+Canvas 3001: soft, lightweight, with just the right amount of stretch.

Every park design is an illustration in a vintage poster style. We simplify each scene to make a good poster, so it won't match the park detail for detail. Colors can also look a little different in person than on your screen.

About the place

Big Ridge State Park

Big Ridge is named for the long wooded ridges it crosses above the south shore of Norris Lake. Farm families lived in its hollows until the 1930s, and the same lake covered the town of Loyston, which now lies under the wide reach people here call the Loyston Sea. Civilian Conservation Corps crews built the log cabins, the stone gatehouse and the dam that holds Big Ridge Lake, and in 1949 the park passed to the state.
