About David Crockett State Park
David Crockett State Park is a state park in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. The park is located on Shoal Creek (originally called the Sycamore River) and commemorates the historical activities of famous frontiersman David Crockett in the local area.

He also served as one of Lawrence County's first commissioners and justices of the peace.
