How to get to Edgar Evins State Park
The park is located near Silver Point, Tennessee, off Interstate 40 at Exit 268, roughly 70 miles (about 1 hour 15 minutes) east of Nashville and about 25 miles west of Cookeville. From I-40, the access road descends steeply toward the lake, so RV drivers should use low gears, check brakes, and take curves slowly; watch for tight turns inside the campground loops. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Nashville International Airport (BNA), with Cookeville Regional Airport serving smaller general-aviation traffic.
