Thanks to Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc., the state now owns 10,000 acres of unspoiled wilderness along the Caney Fork River at Scott’s Gulf. This breathtaking landscape is characterized by deep gorges, rock outcrops, and class V rapids. The company honored its 100th anniversary by donating 4,000 acres in 1999 and 6,000 acres in 2000 to complete the Bridgestone/Firestone Centennial Wilderness as a gift to the citizens of Tennessee. The Fund holds a conservation easement over the entire 10,000 acres, protecting these lands permanently.
