Dale Hollow State Resort Park (DHSRP) is one of the better birding sites in Cumberland Co., KY.  To reach this fairly remote park, take Rt. 53 north from Celina, Tennessee, or Rt. 61 south from Rt. 90 in Burkesville, Kentucky, to Rt. 449 to the east; in 0.8 km [0.5 mi] go left, staying on Rt. 449, and in 8 more km [5 more mi] go right (south) on Rt. 1206, which ends in the park.  See the page on Public Access Birding Sites in Clinton Co., KY, for birding information in the park.
