Poor Valley Creek State Park was a proposed state park in western Hawkins County, Tennessee, United States. It would have been located prominently near the Poor Valley Creek embayment of Cherokee Lake, an impoundment of the Holston River. The park was first planned in 1945, and shelved indefinitely following comments supporting "no action" on the project by state agencies in 1976.
