To start, this is one of the prettiest and most unique areas to hike in Clarksville. I say that…read morebecause of the history, Swan Lake, the cave itself and the surrounding woods. If you want a good workout in nature that isn't too daunting, this is the place to come. When I was a little girl, there were no formal, well-kept trails at this park and the cave, 8 miles in length and #280 on the list of the world's largest cave systems, was closed. So, imagine my delight when I discovered the cave is now open for tours. The guided tours are an hour and change and worth the $18/person. You only go into the cave about 1/4 mile and there are two guides with you along the way. The day I took the tour, we had Marley as our lead guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the cave drawings and very entertaining in her presentation delivery. The 20-person group I was with were all listening intently and laughing along to some of her light-hearted jokes. The tour is great for children over 4 and not dangerous, but you do need good shoes and a strong flashlight. As for the trails in the park, they can be challenging depending on the direction you go, the shape you're in and whether you're hiking or trail running. At one section, the trail leads you out into a beautiful field that is especially green and luscious during the summer. It can get super toasty in the sun, so bring water and sunscreen. I highly recommend you visit this park and if you're into caves and history, do consider the tour. You won't be disappointed.

This park has a very unique set of rock formations, sinkholes, and of course, caves and caverns…read more Unfortunately the cave was closed when we visited due to recent flooding. There is a small loop trail that will take you to the cave as well as the sink hole. Admission is required when the cave is open. Parking is available in front of the visitors center.

This is my very favorite place to hike in Clarksville. It is just delicious in every way - the…read moretrails, the stream, the fields, the photo opportunities. You will not be bored and there so many ways to hike this place. It's completely up to you if you want more uphill hiking or leisurely strolling by a stream. There is also an opportunity to rock-skip and play in the stream, but be careful as it can get slick along the many rocks. If you are into disc golf, there is a whole course set up here that will provide you with fun and tons of exercise. The trails for mountain biking look like lots of fun. I don't personally have the skills to tackle them, but if you do go for it - just look out for lots of roots in the trail. As for wildlife, you got your deer, your rabbits, your birds, your squirrels, your possums, your wolf spiders and your armadillos...yes, armadillos! (do not try and approach them as they carry leprosy). The new nature center is lovely and welcoming, there are picnic tables scattered throughout the park, a play area for the kiddos that is unique and shaded, and the bathrooms are kept clean and well-stocked. Just a wonderful, fun place to explore and be out in nature with your family or by yourself. Be sure to bring a camera!

Beautiful place to do some hiking. Trails were marked very well. Some trails were easy and some…read morewere moderate. They had nice bathrooms at multiple locations on the trail. Beautiful scenery and lots of parking throughout the park.

The playground is expansive, the disc golf sprawling, and the nature trail walk is safe, well-paved and contained to the area. The tasteful patriotic memorials are lovely reminders of those who have served and continue to serve our country. Even on a weekday evening, there were plenty of children, people playing disc golf, strolling alone or with their dogs. A safe and lovely outdoor venue!

Gorgeous park with walking trail which displays memorial stones for various wars. You'll find…read morepicnic tables and benches along the way and the paved trail is perfect for strollers or wheelchairs, making it completely accessible. I saw several groups playing disc golf and there appear to be 18 basket targets. The tee off signs include memorials for various wars as well. A pavilion with fourteen picnic tables that seat eight each can accommodate at least a hundred people. There are four small grills as well. The children's playground has both baby and regular swings, slides, and plenty of areas to climb and burn off energy. A butterfly garden displays lots of butterfly-friendly plants and some small water features. There are several chairs to sit and enjoy the butterflies. Overall, it's a beautiful, quiet park with plenty of space to either play or relax and reflect.
