The lake is formed by a dam capped by seven arches carrying a road. The dam is the largest masonry project completed by the CCC. It was substantially rebuilt in 2010-2011.

The park has camping sites, hiking trails, boating and a swimming pool. One of the things we like best about Cumberland Mountain isa the restaurant overlooking the lake. We enjoy their delicious buffets several times during the year.

The pictures are lovely. That photo of the dam reflected in the water is especially nice. And the restaurant looks very inviting. Must add that to our growing list of things Betsy and George like that we should try.

Very peaceful…I would like to have me a lawn chair at that first shot so I could just sit there for a while.

Hello GREGORE!
Wonderful photographs of summer.
Lovely photo of the reflections in the water.
For me, still winter, and snow.
Slowly approaching spring.
