Inscription. Created by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the middle of the Great Depression, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was created for the conservation of the nation's natural resources and to provide work and a desperately needed salary for millions of unemployed young men and their families. From 1933 to 1942, the CCC worked on thousands of projects which included road building, erosion control, firefighting, the construction of recreation areas and stream and forest restoration. men of the CCC quite literally brought this and other abused and degraded National Forests back to life.

The first CCC camp in Tennessee and one of the first in the nation, is located in the cove below. It has been restored and is now the Telco Ranger Station.
