The Tennessee Valley is a small, undeveloped part of Marin County, near Mill Valley. Historically home to ranches and threatened with the development of a new city, the valley was incorporated into the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in the 1972, with additional sections added to the park in 1974. The park contains horse stables, a native plant nursery, and numerous trails for hiking, biking, and horse riding, including a 1.7 mile, handicap-accessible trail that leads to Tennessee Cove and its beach.〔http://www.parksconservancy.org/visit/park-sites/tennessee-valley.html〕 ==History==
Tennessee Valley was originally inhabited by Coast Miwok tribes, as was much of Marin County. The valley was called Elk Valley by the first European settlers due to its abundant wildlife and presence of Tule elk, which have since been extirpated. The name change occurred due to the 1853 wreck of the ''S.S. Tennessee.'' The passenger steamship missed the Golden Gate in the fog and accidentally turned into Tennessee Cove, 4 miles north of the gate. The captain successfully beached the ship on the cove, saving 500 passengers and 14 chests of gold.〔http://www.parksconservancy.org/visit/park-sites/tennessee-valley.html〕 At very low tide, the engine of the ''S.S. Tennessee'' can be seen at the beach.〔http://www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/tennessee_valley.htm〕 In the 1960s, a plan for developing much of the Marin Headlands, including most of Tennessee Valley, was created, called Marincello. Marincello would have been a city of 30,000, including apartment towers, single family homes, and light industry. It was ultimately defeated due to public pressure against the construction of a new city and financial difficulties. Some of the scars of its construction are visible, including the Marincello gate and trail, which follows what would have been the city's main boulevard.〔http://baynature.org/articles/saved-by-grit-and-grace/〕
