David Crockett State Park

There are all types of Davy Crockett places to visit in Tennessee as he lived in multiple places in the state. He lived along the creek in this park for about 5 years. He built a grist mill, gun powder mill, and distillery along the creek but they were washed away in a flood.

Today the creek was not very big. They call these Crockett Falls so it surprised me how small they were (a foot tall). I can’t see how mills were powered by these.

The park has an aviary area with several owls and hawks. Reminds me of Hedwig.

  
The park has several nice hikes within it. This path was worn down over the years..
