Crossville
Cumberland County · Cumberland Plateau · I-40
Plateau country — golf, lakes, and level acreage on top of the Cumberlands.
About Crossville
Crossville sits on top of the Cumberland Plateau roughly halfway between Knoxville and Nashville, at a higher elevation than most of East Tennessee — which gives it milder summers and a distinct plateau landscape of sandstone bluffs, pine forest, and level open ground.
It's widely known as a golf destination, with numerous courses and planned communities, alongside a large supply of rural acreage and small lakes across Cumberland County.
