Hickory Knob sits along the wooded shoreline of a very large reservoir and combines a full-service golf resort with a remote state park. Visitors can play a championship golf course, eat at a buffet restaurant, shoot skeet, use the archery range, and stay in lodge rooms or a campground near the water. The park also has a popular mountain bike trail with lake views, along with boat launching, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. Its meeting rooms make it a common choice for family reunions, business retreats, and group events. Boat ramps may be closed when lake levels are low, so check the park's current notices before visiting.
