Cedars of Lebanon State Park is a state park in Wilson County, Tennessee, in the southeastern United States. It consists of situated amidst the Cedars of Lebanon State Forest. The park and forest are approximately south of Lebanon, Tennessee. Cedars of Lebanon State Forest is known for its cedar glades, a unique type of ecosystem that has adapted to the thin (or nonexistent) soil layers that often occur in the eastern Central Basin. These glades are typically flanked by thick stands of red cedar, a type of juniper tree that can survive in soil layers too thin to support most large wooded plants. The presence of the red cedar in the basin reminded the region's early Euro-American settlers of the Lebanese cedar forests of Biblical fame. ==Geographical setting==

The water in the forest probably ends up in nearby streams, such as Hurricane Creek.〔Charles Wilson, Jr., ''Geology of Cedars of Lebanon State Park and Forest and Vicinity in Wilson County, Tennessee'' (Tennessee Division of Geology, 1980), 9.〕 These streams empty into the Stones River's J.
