At Murfreesboro’s Crater of Diamonds State Park, explore the park’s nearly 40-acre field where more than 35,000 diamonds have been found by visitors over the park’s history. Anything you find in the field is yours to keep. The site was once home to the largest diamond ever discovered in the United States, at more than 40 carats in size.
For views rather than diamonds, visit Pinnacle Mountain State Park in Roland. Take to the more than 33 miles of hiking trails and nearly 20 miles of mountain biking trails. The visitor center is newly home to a Loblolly handcrafted ice cream outpost.
