Here in the Upper Cumberland we are in the middle of everything that’s happening in the state! We are only a short drive to Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga and the Great Smokey Mountains.
Which means for the sports lover we are close to the Titans LP Field and the Vols Neyland Stadium. Right here in our own backyard we also have college level sports with the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles. We also have Championship Quality Golf courses right here at home! With 4 Championship golf courses, Cumberland County is the Golf Capital of Tennessee. There are many other golf courses in other counties though with 5 in Cookeville, 2 in Sparta, 1 in Livingston and 1 also in Monterey. There are also softball and baseball complexes in the area, Cane Creek Sports Plex and Jere Whitson Adult Softball fields. With the Cookeville Department of Leisure Services you are sure to find something fun that you like to do.
For the outdoor lover we are surrounded by state parks. Close by is Standing Stone, Burgess Falls, Cordell Hull, and Fall Creek Falls. There is also the best fishing in the country at Dale Hollow Lake. With 10 Marinas you are surely able to make your way out to a great fishing spot.
For those interested in history get out and visit Sgt. Alvin C. York's birth place out in Pall Mall. Be sure and visit Historic Rugby, Tennessee. A beautiful Victorian England community right here in the Upper Cumberland. At Christmas time they decorate the way they would have back in 1880 and it is gorgeous.
Here in the Upper Cumberland you have many choices for education. There are many public grade schools and some private ones too. For high educations there are many technical and vocational schools, community colleges and Tennessee Technological University. Not only do we have all of this going on but this is just a beautiful place to live. Below I have included a list of links that will tell you more about everything I have told you about.
