College Town Weekends

College Town Weekends is a promotion that combines both on-campus and off-campus events into one list so students can easily find weekend activities of interest. Students are encouraged to take advantage of all that Tech and the surrounding community have to offer. After all, Cookeville is Tennessee’s college town!

Get to Know Cane Creek Park this Spring.

Cane Creek Park is only minutes from Tech’s campus and offers a wide range of recreational activities perfect for spring weather.

Disc Golf – Pick up a disc or two at Outdoor Experience or any other sporting goods store and hit the course. Disc golf is easy to learn, free to play (once you have a disc), and a great way to spend time outdoors with friends.

Walking Trail – Cane Creek’s paved walking trails circle the lake and offer different options for length and difficulty. Run, walk, or bike to clear your head and get some exercise. Pets are welcome, but must be on a leash and owners must pick up after their pet.

Mountain Biking – Cane Creek offers several mountain biking sections that are fun for all experience levels. From the parking lot near the Cane Creek Recreation Center (180 C C Camp Rd), take the paved path a short distance to the mountain biking trails.

Check out Cane Creek and other local parks in this video about Tennessee’s College Town.
