This a wonderful TN State Park, split up into areas along the Harpeth River. The Hidden Lake Trail is my favorite, with the Narrows area coming in at a close second place. If you’re after a simple and beautiful little stroll, check out the Gossett Tract area of the park. The Hidden Trail is easy and is a mile or so long. It meanders around and through a wildflower field in the beginning and it ends at a small ‘hidden’ lake. The Narrows has a 1/3 of a mile long incline to a beautiful a bluff area with a terrific overlook. Behind The Narrows is the Tunnel Trail, which isn’t very long either but you’ll end up at a tunnel/waterfall.

1st time stopping off to check out the park. Had a enjoyable day, as well as a test day for use of a powered wheel chair down the paths. I little challenging but manageable with aid from behind the chair 💺.

Decent little section of the larger park for hiking and river access. Some trails lead to the river, some take you up on a bluff, and one leads to an abandoned quarry pond (the titular hidden lake). By the way, do not swim in this lake, and id recommend that you don't let your dog play in it either. Restroom is a port-a-potty, btw.

Beautiful but easy trails. Minimal elevation rise makes this a great stop for kids or just casual walks with the dogs. You will get lovely views of the harpeth the back of the veterans cemetery and of course the hidden lake if you take the 1.5 mile railroad spur. Lots of interesting old ruins from the 1904 quarry and 1920s resort operations too. There is also a put in and take out to the river so this area is heavily trafficked in the summer by the local river outfitters. (Shout out: Sunshine Adventures). This location usually does have ample parking but again beware the summer weekends it will fill up.

Found this park thru Google as I was looking for a place that had butterflies to see since my friend who just passed loved them. This park has lots of them, flowers, birds and I was pleasantly surprised to see deer nearby eating . It was so beautiful with a trail to walk around a couple of lakes. Loved my visit! There is an outhouse located at the info station near the parking area. There were story board signs along a easy trail for children. It would be nice to have benches at certain places in the trail.
