The Grundy Lakes offers swimming and picnicking facilities in one of Grundy County's most historic areas. Grundy Lakes is the site of the Lone Rock Coke Ovens where locally mined coal was converted to coke using convict labor until 1896. The coke ovens remain as a historic reminder of these times. Expect temperatures to be 8 degrees cooler than the current temperature in Nashville or Chattanooga.
