Lakeview Park

The Crown Jewel of the County Park System

A motion to purchase The Carter Farm, for $975,000, was passed by the Franklin County Fiscal Court on June 14, 1991. The property consisted of just over 133 acres would eventually become what is now known as Lakeview Park. The county made a $100,000 down payment on the property and then executed a mortgage with Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Co. for the remaining amount. The park has been continuously improved over the years. It now features many amenities for the public to enjoy.
