Harpeth River State Park — Attraction in White Bluff

Fun, small place with 3 trails that I would rank from easier, middle, more difficult. Easy is not very far to the waterfall out of a man-made tunnel, but requires minimal hiking experience. The middle trail is longer and has some more challenging areas that would are much harder than just walking, but enjoyable as it walks along the Harpeth river. The more difficult requires a lot more energy and skill because of the steep incline. The trail has a set of steep steps that even a taller individual had to put effort into to scale them.

Takeout is about a ten minute walk away from the put in. Fantastic when you only...

There are several hiking trails to choose from, an old above ground mine and waterfall to explore, the clear Harpeth to swim in, rock beds for hunting fossils, numerous species of birds and mammels to watch, and tons of canoe/kayak rental places for a cruise downstream. When I lived in Nashville, I went here constantly! It is beautiful, clean, and uncrowded which makes it easy to enjoy. If you dwell in the ville or are just passing through, I recommend giving The...
