fort loudoun is now situated on an island created by tellico lake at the junction of the little tennessee and tellico rivers. state route 360 (unicoi turnpike) passes across the island, connecting the state park to vonore to the north and the rural areas of monroe county and the cherokee national forest to the south. the park's visitor center, which stands adjacent to the fort, contains a small museum with a model of the fort and several artifacts from the various excavations. several miles of hiking trails meander through the woods around the fort, as well as the mcghee-carson unit across the lake to the south.
