잭슨 카운티 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

This lake sits in a park of the same name. There are fishing docks, kayak & canoe rentals, playgrounds, and a trail encircling the lake. Though it's a relatively small area there is something here for everyone to enjoy.

If you're unable to get a permit to hike down to the gorge, this makes a good second option. It's only a short walk from the parking area, but the views over the falls make it worth your while. You can book your gorge hiking permit here: https://reserve.tnstateparks.com/cummins-falls/permits

The trail to Cummins Falls isn't long, but that doesn't mean it's easy. There are a number of water crossings and rock scrambling to be done, so be sure to have appropriate footwear, hiking sandals or water shoes would be best for this one.

These falls are the star attraction here, and for good reason. Not only are they beautiful, you can also go swimming in the pool at the bottom of the falls. Not many better places to be on a hot summer's day. Day-use permits are required for this area, so be sure to get yours in advance here: https://reserve.tnstateparks.com/cummins-falls/permits

This is a nice park in Cookeville with a central fountain, amphitheater, playground, and paved trails. If you're looking for a place in town to bring the family then this would be a great choice
