The trails are fairly well maintained and blazed fairly clearly with the exception of the Ridge Top connector. As I now recall, it may have been blazed blue as well.
Being a TN state park, the dirt and gravel trails are kept in good condition.  Some of the trail sections are steep, thus can be slippery after a rain.
