Crossville Tennessee Adventure Part 2 of 2

After we left Grassy Cove Methodist we ate breakfast at a little local dinner called Edgewood. The food was very good and was extremely cheap. As we finished off our cups of coffee we planned where we wanted to go next. We decided to visit some local churches then head out to Cumberland Mountain State Park. I must say that there are a ton of churches in the area and I was only able to visit a few but I will show a couple of the bigger churches in the area.

This is Central Baptist Church. This church isn't an old church but I just love the look of it.


I apologize but I forgot the name of this Methodist Church but the is the new building which is connected to the original smaller church.

This is the original part of the Methodist Church.


After we stopped at these churches we continued on to beautiful Cumberland Mountain State Park. As we pulled into the park I was blown away by the scenery. The main attraction of the Park is a man made lake (or very large pond depending on how you look at it). The park also has many hiking trails that I plan on hiking this spring when all the wild flowers come out. Overall this is one of my favorite Tennessee State Parks that I have visited and would highly recommend it.

Here is the first picture of the front side of the dam.


Here is a shot of one of the many Canadian Geese that were on the lake.


This is a shot of the other side of dam.


Matt and I decided to climb up to the top of the dam just for fun and this is a shot of Matt at the top of it.


Of course I have to add a shot of me into the mix :)


Well that concludes most of my Crossville, Tennessee Adventure. I had a wonderful time and look forward to making a return trip this spring. A special thanks goes out to my friend Matt and his mom and dad for allowing me to stay at their house and for Matt driving me to all the locations. My last post about my Crossville visit will be posted Friday about the most unique church in the world. Trust me you will want to check this out! Until then thanks for stopping by.
