David Crockett State Park, State park in Lawrence County, Tennessee, US
David Crockett State Park is a state recreation area in Lawrence County featuring forests, streams, and a 40-acre lake where Crockett Falls flows into the water. The grounds include multiple hiking trails that wind through wooded areas and open spaces.
The park was established in 1959 and commemorates David Crockett, who operated a powder mill and gristmill at Shoal Creek until floods destroyed them in 1821. The site recalls the era when early industry shaped the local landscape.
The park honors frontier life through exhibits about early settlers and traditional cooking at Crockett's Mill Restaurant. Visitors experience how people lived and worked in this region during the 1800s.
The park offers 107 camping sites with electrical and water hookups, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis courts, and hiking trails for various skill levels. Plan your visit around seasonal conditions and weather patterns.
The lake permits only electric trolling motors for fishing, creating a quiet environment without engine noise. This makes angling there distinctly peaceful compared to other fishing spots.
