Hamilton Creek Recreation Area — Attraction in Nashville-Davidson

Beautiful location to just relax with family and friends. Not much to say about the parking lot being long and narrow. The walkway to the lake is not level and it is rocky. So be careful when walking you could twist your ankle. Great place to paddle board swim or canoe. This place definitely needs to be more handicapped accessible. More tables with cover from the sun to be able to enjoy the water. Great place for elderly and young at heart to go and watch the water. To access the water is difficult if you cannot walk.

I pray God has mercy on you as you will be held accountable for trashing His creation.

I should have taken pictures of the names on the receipts and posted them along with the trash sites left behind.

Aside from that, the place would have...

We used to come here to picnic for the day and swim. We went today and there’s a man, Russell, kicking everyone out of the water and lot if they do not intend on using a kayak or paddle board. They no longer allow people to swim and no longer allow dogs at all. This is such a disappointment, it was known as a Nashville spot to swim. We no longer have free access areas and they are forcing everyone to go to Anderson beach where they can charge you to park, no dogs allowed, and are only allowed swim within the roped off area. I plan on emailing multiple complaints and I hope that others do as well. It’s atrocious that our public lands are being...
