Cove Lake State Park’s 673 acres are situated in a beautiful mountain valley setting on the eastern edge of the Cumberland Mountains. There are scenic nature trails and bike trails leading through the open grasslands and woodlands. In the winter, several hundred Canada Geese make this lakeshore their feeding ground. Nearby is the Devil’s Race Track whose steep pinnacle rock affords a panoramic view.
There is a 3.5 mile paved hiking trail that is also used for biking.
Year-round fishing is permitted on 210-acre Cove Lake.
Cove Lake State Park’s swimming pool is closed for the remainder of the 2009 season.
Cove Lake visitors can enjoy badminton, shuffleboard, horseshoes, field games, volleyball, playgrounds, ping-pong, tennis, and many other activities including a paved walking and bicycling trail. Recreation equipment is available on a free checkout system at the boat dock in the summer months or in the park office during the winter months.
