The paved bike trail is great for beginners! The path meanders its way through the park and overlooks the lake.

Fishing

Cove Lake (210 acre) provides a beautiful mountain valley setting on the eastern edge of the Cumberland Plateau and good habitat for bass, Bluegill, and crappie. 

Birding

The lake serves as a magnet for migrating birds. In the winter there are hundreds of geese and other waterfowl.
