Cabins at Tims Ford are a great experience. Nice views, great locations, and rustic cabins that have more than you would need. Lots to do there including hiking, biking, birding, fishing, boating etc. Very friendly staff and a good camp store located very close to the cabins. Perfect for families or couples and several cabins allow pets but do not smell or have pet odors in them at all. Great time!

Absolutely beautiful! Stayed in one of the cabins, and I loved every second of it. The cabin was a clean and spacious living area. The cabin has a large private porch to the master bedroom and a very large extended porch for the guest room and the dining area, all with outstanding views. The trails in this park are beautiful and generally easy to hike with scenic views of the waterway and forests. The visitors center is wonderful and full of information. They have critters found in the area that are being rehabilitated, such as a hawk , a great horned owl, snakes, and others around for viewing. The rangers are knowledge and outgoing, providing great experiences to kids. We were able to hold a snake, rock climb, and get a nice tour before we wandered off to hit the trails. I recommend bringing the family and enjoying time outdoors. ALSO, apprently, this is Sasquatch country lol, so be on the lookout out. HAVE FUN!!!

The Tims Ford Park is nice. It offers a Great paved bike trail that goes from one end to the other end of the park. You do have to watch out for the roots that have raised the pavement. It is shaded by a terrific tree canopy. The #43 campsite was nice and spacious. With a lovely sunken patio area that includes your fire pit. Loved that. The part that I HATED....the park allowed a super loud party to take place right in the center of the campground both nights that I was there. I have camped several times at several different places. I have never encountered this situation before and I hope I don't again. If I was to go to the club, I would have stayed in Nashville. I am disappointed in the park rangers for not nippings the situation in the bud.

Beautiful and peaceful state park with great scenic views of the water. Trails are well-marked and perfect for a relaxing walk or an easy hike. Lots of spots to stop, take photos, or just sit and enjoy the lake. Very clean, well-kept, and a great place to unwind. Highly recommend!

The park manager and his staff at the gift shop /welcome center make for a great host and hostesses. The maintenance guy dale and the ladies that clean the cabins were very kind and accommodating. I’d recommend this place to anyone!… the boat ramp isn’t crowded… slips available and affordable… the cabins are nicer than many condos… nice facilities, great spot…. 2 places to buy a Diet Coke!!

New/modern/CLEAN visitor center and welcoming staff at this park… Very dog friendly and kind. Very nice/new gift shop and supplies available. I purchased a Bark Ranger tag for my hiking companion (dog) and couldn’t resist a coffee mug for myself. Cell reception is spotty in this area, and staff not only reviewed my planned route and gave advice, but took my info to be on the lookout, in case we were delayed in our return. Trails are well marked, and maintained. Print your map before hiking (re: cell reception). There are several scenic overlooks to enjoy along the route When we came back to the visitor center to check in, they gave my dog a milk bone dog treat, petted her and answered some questions I had about future camping at the location… we sat in the rocking chairs at the front of the visitor center while she had some water and I cooled down. Highly recommend!

Beautiful lake and grounds. Rented a “rustic” cabin and the ladies in the office were very helpful and pleasant. Rental price was also very reasonable for three days. Those are the Pros. The Cons. Can only speak for our cabin but “rustic” is kind. In extreme need of repair and upgrades if not total refurbishing. Most doors don’t lock properly and frankly offer little security. Limited TV options, no WiFi and older appliances to include an oven door that doesn’t close. Shower tub floor very slippery to include mildew. Leak in cabinet under kitchen sink and utensils and some containers greasy/dirty. If you don’t mind really roughing it, camping might be a better option.

I arrived around 10:15am on a Sunday and easily signed up for the next tour starting in 10-15 minutes. It was a warm day, but comfortable in the shade. The tour guide was extremely friendly and provided great information. There are no restrooms during the tour, so definitely use the restroom before going on the 1hr45min tour. Easy drive from Nashville. Tasting is included and there’s an optional slushee for $10 you can purchase ahead of time. There’s also optional engraved bottles and photos you can buy too. I had lunch on the town right next to the distillery. Recommend if you have a day to spare!

This place is just so cool… even if you don’t drink whiskey, you learn some neat history of the area. Plus the property is just beautiful. And the tour guides are wonderful…they clearly love what they do and the company they work for. The experience is really worth the time and money.

Our tour guide Courtney was great. She was very knowledgeable. Very friendly great tour. Would come back again. Originally I didn't want to come due to it being a 4 hour drive from where we were staying I have never been happier with my husband convincing me to do something.

Five Stars All Day Long! Our visit to the Jack Daniel’s Distillery during the World Championship Invitational BBQ event was absolutely amazing! While you do need to make reservations for the Distillery Tours well in advance for this busy weekend, it was so worth the effort. Everything was incredibly well organized — from the layout of the grounds to the seamless flow of the tours — and the food at the BBQ Event was simply mouth watering! A special shoutout to Angela G. at the White Rabbit Bottle Shop, who truly went above and beyond! She not only educated us on the different Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskeys available that day but also helped us secure a limited-edition bottle, all with an infectious smile and genuine enthusiasm. Could not recommend the White Rabbit Bottle Shop and the Distillery Tour enough. An unforgettable experience from start to finish

The tour is informative about the whiskey making process and there’s a lot of history behind the distillery itself. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and the whiskey tasting at the end is the cherry on top. It’s totally worthwhile if you’re passing through Lynchburg.

Fantastic experience - guide offered many anecdotes about Jack Daniels and the border southern whisky makers. Beautiful grounds, Note barrel making is off site and process shown via short video. Also, bottling lines are not operational on the weekends. Items prohibited on tour can be left in free lockers.

Not just a great tour but a must for whiskey lovers and enthusiasts. Even if you know nothing about the whiskey or Mr. Daniel, the tour will shed some light about the distillery. I know all the guides are good but shoutout to our guide Matt, as he was very knowledgeable and entertaining while showing us around the grounds.

Recommended from JD Distillery tour for the grilled cheese on Crack. It was so-so. I had higher expectations of it. It had a good flavor, but I wish I'd order something else. Ribs were delicious, as well as potato salad. Fries were weak. I've had better, sweet potato casserole. Glad we tried it anyway.

Barrel House BBQ is a hidden gem for anyone who loves great BBQ! The ribs are absolutely delicious—tender, smoky, and full of flavor. The owner is incredibly friendly and makes you feel right at home, always ready to recommend something amazing from the menu. A fantastic spot for amazing food and a warm, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!

I've been all over Texas several times, I'd like to think I know good BBQ. BARREL HOUSE BBQ has the BEST Pulled Pork Sandwich I have EVER HAD. The fact that it was prepared by a young man named Jack made it even better after a wonderful tour at the JD distillery. WOW!! I tell anyone who will listen to stop here for lunch....OUTSTANDING, great staff and great prices!! Thank You

It's not every barbecue place that has a barbecue baked potato. Theirs was good; well cooked and not the largest I've seen, but not so small I was wondering where the rest was. The decor was unique with money on the walls. We went here at an off time, as there were no crowds anywhere in town. Showing up at a popular time on a weekend might be different.

first I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was so good that I had to try ribs too not disappointed! service is casual and the place is pretty cool just a bit pricey and they are not generous with the sides… but, hey, it’s a touristic place so it’s quite normal anyway, I recommend it

Great BBQ pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich for $8! Easy 5 minute walk from Jack Daniel’s Distillery and food arrived quickly. Would recommend to anyone exploring Lynchburg after a distillery tour.

If your in Lynchburg, this BBQ is good. Loved the hot sauce options. Pork nachos & grilled cheese with pork. I will be coming back!
