Friends of Cumberland Mountain State Park Cumberland Mountain State Park is situated on the Cumberland Plateau a segment of the great upland which extends from western New York to central Alabama. It is said to be the largest timbered plateau in America. Cumberland Mountain State Park began as part of the greater Cumberland Homesteads Project a New Dealera initiative by the Resettlement Administration that helped relocate povertystricken families on the Cumberland Plateau to small farms centered on what is now the Cumberland Homestead community. This 1720acre park was acquired in 1938 to provide a recreational area for some 250 families selected to homestead on the Cumberland Plateau.
