Cove Lake State Park

Be advised, during our second trip to Cove Lake and after upgrading our rig, we found out they do not have 50 amp service for the masses. 50 amp service is reserved solely for handicapped patrons even they are all vacant. We had to go to another state park (see my review on Indian Mountain State Park).

On Thursday, April 17^th, Tony and I was traveling back to West Virginia for the Easter Holiday. We get so tired of driving the same old route up I-​65, so I routed another way home. some NEW SCENERY to view and enjoy… and OMG… I found it !!! I found it !!!
We got off I-​75 at the Caryville, TN exit and just stumbled across this gorgeous State Park at the base of the mountain vistas… I just had to stop to take some awesome and stunning photos of the views from the lake and park of these beautiful mountains.
Perfect for a cookout, because there are plenty of picnic tables and shelters. A great play area for the kids and the gorgeous lake with tons of waddling duckies and geese… and I had bread in the van from our missed opportunity yesterday at Centennial park in Nashville. so I was prepared… or was I !!!
I never dreamed that the geese and ducks would attack and fight each other and go for me… they were swarming me and quacking and the geese were extremely aggressive… and this is something for little kids… IKE !!!
But, it was fun and the ducks/​geese were gorgeous .I was able to get some great photos.
The lake is so pretty and the scenery is lovely. I found some history about the park I thought I would share.
Cove Lake’s 717 acres are situated in a beautiful mountain valley on the eastern edge of the Cumberland Plateau. Scenic nature trails lead through a diversity of wetlands and woodlands offering wildlife viewing for the nature enthusiast. A paved walking/​bike trail provides easy access to all park facilities. Visitors can spend the day fishing or simply sitting back and capturing the picturesque vista Cove Lake offers.
I would love to go back here again and enjoy a great cookout. When I see swings and playground equipment, I just have to fight the urges to take off running… and Playing like I was little again!!!
