Close your eyes and picture a deep canyon with an abundance of caves, waterfalls, arches, mesas and sandstone bluffs you would normally have to travel to the southwestern United States to view. Open your eyes to one of the jewels of The Nature Conservancy and Tennessee's park system, Pogue Creek Canyon State Natural Area! This 3,000 acre natural area located on the Northern Cumberland Plateau, was a side quest on our recent trip through Pickett CCC State Park and The Big South Fork NRRA. . I first read of Pogue Creek Canyon while researching places to best view the 2019 Solar Eclipse. As it turns out, in conjuncture with Pickett State Park, Pogue Creek Canyon has one of the darkest night skies in the southeastern United States. It carries the privilege of being one of the few places in the country to be a part of the International Dark Sky Association. Due to its remoteness and high altitude on the Cumberland Mountains, clear night skies along its astronomy field offer visitors a detailed view of the Milky Way rarely seen by most city dwellers. If you're ever in the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee, GO CHECK IT OUT!
