Located in a beautiful mountain valley, Cove Lake (210 acre) is a great park for a peaceful paddle.

We have more than seven miles of trails ranging from easy to moderate, of which over 3 miles are paved for multi-use, including jogging and biking.

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

Trail Length: 3.5 miles
Trail Rating: Beginner

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. 

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