Mineral Mound State Park This peaceful setting on the shores of Lake Barkley is historically linked to the author F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Anglers fish from a pier at Mineral Mounds State ParkThe property was once the farm of Willis B. Machen, grandfather of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald. It’s not hard to imagine the serene, Gatsby-style era from this park, with idyllic days of playing golf and cruising the lake.
