A 3850 acre park with swimming and boating on Lake Acorn, a replica of a church/log cabin where the Cumberland Presbyterian Church originated, a golf course, and a lodge and restaurant. Prior to becoming a park, the area was once rich in iron production and is named after the owner. He became impressively rich and decided to emancipate many of his slaves and put them on ships to Liberia. For trivia lovers, Ernest Goes To Camp was filmed here.
Montgomery Bell State Park is a Tennessee state park in Burns, Tennessee, United States. The park covers 3,782 acres (1,531 ha) and its official elevation is 758 feet (231 m). However, due to the dissected wooded terrain typical of the Nashville Basin, actual elevations range from 580 feet to 860 feet. The park is open for year-round recreation including boating, hiking, camping, fishing and golf. Montgomery Bell State Park was built during the Great Depression by members of the Works Progress Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps as Montgomery Bell Recreational Demonstration Area. Named for iron industrialist Montgomery Bell, the park is known as the birthplace of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
