About Cookeville
Home to Tennessee Technological University and the Cumberland School of Technology, Cookeville is a small college town, with roughly 25,000 residents. The town is bordered by the Tennessee River and sits on top of the Cumberland Plateau, a geographic tabletop that is 1,000 feet higher than the surrounding countryside, creating views that range from pretty to stunning. Although Cookeville proper may sit on flatland, this part of Tennessee's Putnam County features a rugged natural beauty that is beyond compare. So if you enjoy the great outdoors, this part of Tennessee is a great destination. Nature enthusiasts head for City Lake Natural Area, Falling Water River, Cane Creek Park, Edgar Evins State Park, Arda Lee's Hidden Hollow Park, and Burgess Falls State Park.
