There was no pickin or paintin today, but instead a Sunday afternoon drive through the park. We are blessed in Lawrenceburg, TN, to have this beautiful park, established here in 1959, when I was just a wee little girl. Many things in this small town are named after Mr. David Crockett. He was not born here, but lived here, had a Mill here and he was one of the founders and officials of our town.
There's a restaurant.
This covered bridge was recently rebuilt after the original was washed away by a flood.
The park also has an olympic size swimming pool, several playground areas, 2 campground sites, many, many picnic spots with grills and tables. There are tennis courts for the athletic, or walking trails for us slower moving people.
So, if you ever make it to my neck of the woods, you'll want to be sure to visit our beautiful park, The David Crockett State Park.

DeleteI've been there and enJOYed the chance to stop from a long ride. We love taking road trips to nowhere and finding places like this. Glad you showed us what it looks like in early spring.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the tour of this beautiful park. This looks like a perfect spot for a long walk or a picnic.
ReplyDeleteBeen there many times. I remember the old covered bridge. We had annual family reunions there and we played in the creek. Also church group camping a few times.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Amy. I have many fond memories of family and church get-togethers there too. Sometimes wish we could go back there.
DeleteHi Candy,
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice way to spend your Sunday afternoon. I imagine it is quite relaxing to stay in one of those cabins. So looking forward to spring!
Oh, me too, Patty. Things are starting to bloom here already, so that makes me want spring even more.

Hi Candy! Thanks for showing us your beautiful area. I love TN but unfortunately I've only visited the Smokey Mtn areas. We haven't been able to head up there for a number of years and every year I say we're going this Fall. I'd love to see it in the Spring too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you stopped by Cotton Pickin Cute and visited me tonight. You put a big ole' smile on my face with your sweet comments. And I love making new friends. I can't wait to see what you do with your pallet.
I'm your newest follower now too. I know we'll become fast friends.
