Cumberland Mountain State Park Is one of my favorite places to hike and be with nature, no matter what the season. There are several nature trails, some easy some rugged but all with beautiful Tennessee wilderness views. I love the very old pavilions, wooden and rock fences, children's play grounds and rustic cabins. I haven't played tennis for a long time until I noticed the park has a nice large fenced tennis court. I love to rent canoes and explore Byrd Lake on a sunny afternoon, or get away from it all and rent one of the rustic cabins or bring your tent and camp out under the stars.  Most come to view the unique, historic bridge that was built in 1935. Currently the bridge is under construction and should be back in use by this summer. I also love to stop at the State Parks Restaurant where they serve some of the best southern catfish in the state. So don't wait for spring, summer or fall, Winter is a good time to visit the park too!
