Parks in Cumberland County offer hiking, fishing, sports, educational opportunities and more. Cumberland Mountain State Park Located just south of Crossville on Hwy. 127, Cumberland Mountain State Park’s 1,720 acres are home to Byrd Lake, hiking trails, cabins, kayaking, fishing, camping, basketball courts, golf, a restaurant, wildlife viewing opportunities and an Olympic-size pool that will reopen in 2021. Park rangers are also on site, offering educational opportunities, guided hikes and more. Built in 1938, the park was originally part of the Cumberland Homesteads Project and has entertained residents of Cumberland County and visitors alike for nearly a century. Cumberland Mountain State Park’s most iconic structure is without a doubt the dam and bridge that holds Byrd Lake. The dam is located near the park office and Homestead Harvest Restaurant. The park is a popular draw for nature lovers with its 15 miles of trials, both paved and natural. A mountain bike trail opened recently, adding another avenue of adventuring for bikers. Along the trails and at the lake, various wildflowers and wildlife from across the Cumberland Plateau can be found. The park is also home to the Bear Trace at Cumberland Mountain, an award-winning 18-hole golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus. Bear Trace was named a top course in Tennessee in 2001. Cumberland Mountain State Park’s office is located at 24 Office Dr. and is open from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. daily. Call 931-484-6138 for more information.
