context_page_description: Standing Stone State Park is a state park in Overton County, Tennessee, in the southeastern United States. The park consists of 855 acres along the shoreline of the man-made 69-acre Standing Stone Lake. The 11,000-acre Standing Stone State Forest surrounds the park.
  The park and forest were developed in the 1930s as part of New Deal-era initiatives to relocate impoverished farmers and restore forests from degraded and heavily eroded lands. The park was named after the Standing Stone, a mysterious rock believed to be of Native American origin or importance that once stood along the old Walton Road at what is now Monterey. The park offers canoeing, camping, lodging, hiking and many other activities.
context_section_description: Recreational facilities at Standing Stone State Park include a 36-site campground, 21 cabins ranging from rustic to modern, four group lodges, an Olympic-size pool, multiple picnic areas, and an amphitheatre.  Most of these facilities (along with the visitor center) are located atop the steep ridge on the north shore of the lake.  The lone exception is Overton Lodge, one of the four group lodges, which is located along the lake's east shore.
  Over 8 miles (13 km) of hiking trails are maintained in the park and forest.  The most popular trail is the Lake Trail, which descends from the visitor center to Standing Stone Dam and parallels most of the north shore of the lake before reascending to the cabin area.  The most substantial trail is the 8-mile (13 km) Cooper Mountain Loop Trail, which circles through several miles of the state forest on the slopes of Cooper Mountain before reentering the state park near Overton Lodge.
  The National Rolley Hole Marbles Championship is held every September at Standing Stone State Park.  Rolley hole is a type of marbles game popular with marble enthusiasts in the Tennessee-Kentucky region.  Other annual events include the Spring Naturalist Rally in April and the Standing Stone Car Show in October.
