About Cove Lake State Park
A 673-acre park spreads around Cove Lake, formed when Caryville Dam closed off Cove Creek in 1936. The lake sits within the town of Caryville itself, with the park land stretching west toward Jacksboro. It was established the following year, in 1937, making the impoundment only a season older than the park protecting it.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
