David Crockett State Park

Davy Crockett settled along the banks of Shoal Creek here in 1817 and constructed a powder mill/grist mill and distillery, which lasted until a flood in 1821 wiped it all away and prompted Davy to leave town. The state park includes a museum about him and replica of his cabin, and additionally, an Olympic-sized pool, scenic creekside natural areas, and campgrounds.
