Cookeville

Cookeville, Tennessee is regarded as the economic hub of the upper Cumberland Plateau, and as well as offering glampers a range of shops and services, allows outdoors enthusiasts access to the Cummins Falls and Burgess Falls State Parks, two of several places where visitors can watch the region’s rivers tumble down from the rocky bluffs of the plateau, forming mighty waterfalls in the process. The nearby Catoosa Wildlife Management Area includes sections of the Cumberland Trail, a newly created hiking route which opens up previously inaccessible regions of this rugged upland country and will appeal to hikers and photographers alike. For those wishing to combine scenic appeal with urban sophistication, state capital Nashville is also within range with its shops, historic sites, and world-famous music scene that has cemented its reputation as the capital of country music.
