Cumberland Mountain State Park is situated on the Cumberland Plateau, a segment of the great upland, which extends from western New York to central Alabama. It is said to be the largest timbered plateau in America. This 1,720-acre park was acquired in 1938 as a project of the Farm Security Administration to provide a recreational area for some 250 families selected to homestead on the Cumberland Plateau.
The Homestead Museum, located one mile from the park, depicts the Cumberland Homestead Community of the 1930's. This community built the park along with help from the CCC and WPA.

June 6 Cumberland State Park History by jjn
The Park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps(CCC) in the Great Depression.The Superintendent was none other than Sgt. Alvin C York,Medal of Honor from WWI.Today,the dam and the road atop it bears witness to the hard work of the CCC boys.The dam is the largest masonry structure built by the CCC.The dam was equipped with a water turbine electric generator to provide electricity for the Park.My Father in law worked on this project
February 20 The very BEST by Christy
This is the greatest park ever. They have everything you need. They are semi secluded but yet close enough to town to be able to enjoy movies, food and anything you want.
November 3 Fighting Chickens by John
It looks like someone at the Park who lives there is raising fighting chickens. Someone told me it was the Park Manager house.
