Cumberland Mountain State Park is located just south of Crossville, TN. The park offers visitors a diverse landscape of lush forests, serene Byrd Lake, and easy hiking trails. Established in the 1930s as part of the Civilian Conservation Corps, the park features rustic stone structures and amenities that reflect its rich history. This gallery highlights the full 4.3 mile Pioneer Loop trail. For golfers, adjacent to the park is the public Bear Trace Golf Course, designed by Jack Nicholas.
