Cook Day Use Area

Lovely clean beach. Nice fishing and dock area. This was a great break in our long trip. The people at the beach were very friendly. The attendants at the gate were very sweet and nice. Right next to the beach is a small playground.

Gorgeous scenic views on the shoreline of J. Percy Priest Lake! Great location to hike, enjoy a swim beach, walk by the water, go #boating from a launch ramp, or for 🧺 picnics. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District operates and maintains this day use area. It costs $5 per vehicle to enter. #Outdoors #CorpsLakes #Recreation #Hiking

Great Family Area! No entry fees Monday-Wednesday.
Parking was just a few feet from the water and has a great jungle gym. No swings though. The park Ranger gives a 30min notice before closing beach area. Mostly Sandy bottom. The beach area has about a 2 feet concrete wall you have to climb down surrounding most of the area but at the far end in front of the play area it is flat. Incredible day with my 2 1/2 years old. Highly recommend.

Went with my 4 year old grandson. Very family friendly and clean. I didn't see any grills but everyone brought thier own. They have a nice playground for the munchkins. Our new favorite spot

Just bought a house that is being built in the area and visited Cook Public Use Area for the first time a few weeks ago! It’s got beautiful views and a boat ramp. Once the house is finished, I see myself visiting this peaceful little area regularly!
