I have been here before and I love it cause their is a slide to go In but you have to make sure u…read morecan swim in it because when u get off the slide you go into a 11 ft side and I can't swim in that so I just wear a life jacket! They also have a vending machines one is for drinks and the other one is for ICE CREAM!!!! So if I was you I would go! But It is ONLY opens in the summer :(. You can also bring a cooler or pizza In too. And if your kids want to swim in the deeper ends of the pool and they can't swim in deep places . Just ask for a life jacket they will give you one if they have some but they will want your car keys idk why but they will! And again I have been here before and I loved it so much so if I was you I would go their in the summer! ( I'm going to stop typing this bc my hands/finger are hurting so yaaaa ok bye for now)

Okay, if you're ever in Tennessee, you have to check out Montgomery Bell Tunnel. This hidden gem…read morein Montgomery Bell State Park is packed with history, and it's one of the coolest spots I've explored. Built in the early 1800s, this tunnel was carved by hand to transport iron ore for a thriving industry. But what makes it even more special is the story behind it--enslaved people worked here, and their efforts helped shape the future of Tennessee. It's crazy to think that something so important is tucked away in the middle of the woods, just waiting to be discovered! https://www.tiktok.com/@reessroots/video/7535575693854297374?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7352687494821037610 The tunnel is almost 300 feet long, and standing inside it feels like stepping back in time. You can almost hear the echoes of the past! Most people are out there hitting all the usual tourist spots, but places like Montgomery Bell Tunnel are the ones that actually make you feel something. If you're into history, adventure, or just exploring off the beaten path, this is definitely the place to be. Skip the crowded tourist traps and head to Montgomery Bell Tunnel for some real history! Trust me, you'll be talking about it long after you leave. #HiddenGems #HistoryUncovered #ExploreTennessee

Stayed at Montgomery Bell Lodge in Tennessee and it's worth the trip. Clean, modern lodge tucked…read moreright inside the state park, overlooking the lake. Rooms are simple but solid -- everything you need after a long hike or day on the water. Restaurant downstairs is convenient, food's better than you'd expect for park dining, and you can grab coffee before heading out. Best part? You walk right out the door into trails, woods, and lake views without ever touching your truck. Not luxury, but not trying to be. Lodge and loaded with what matters: comfort, location, and that Tennessee outdoors feel.

Tranquility. That defines this beautiful green park as well as the small lake…read more Easy to get to, lots of parking and pavilions and dense with forested areas. Lots of picnic tables and places for kids to have fun! The small relatively clear Southern lake had a couple of fishing boats working the shores. The lake is chock full of bass. Fingerling bass line the shore line and 1-3 pounders were seen in the water everywhere. The trails take you up along the ridges and other areas walk you along the dam and lakeshore. The afternoon sun is filtered through the trees giving a warm greenish yellow backdrop. The shady areas are beyond restful and recharged me for another day!

I spotted a sign to Bowie Park, including its nature centre, and turned in to check it out. It is a beautiful park with majestic trees. It felt so much cooler simply driving in this park because the trees shielded you from the heat and provided some much needed relief. Bowie Park has over 700 acres of forest and lakes. It also has 17 miles of trails. You can essentially go biking, horseback riding, fishing, running, and walking in nature. Park hours are between 5 am and 10 pm. I am assuming that gates block your way into this park when it's closed. I thoroughly enjoyed my brief drive into the park. You can park your car and take advantage of doing a hike or whatever activity you feel like doing while connecting with nature. It was so hot that I wasn't feeling a hike. A touristy car ride was good and a nice change of pace. I found the nature centre. It's a place for visitors to learn more about the park. It has nature exhibits, brochures, and art. It features the Bowie museum, which shares the history of the Bowie family and their gifting the park to Fairview. This centre has classes throughout the year on learning about this park. It also has staff offices and public restrooms. This park was named after Dr. Evangeline Bowie. Her family had purchased this plot of land in the 1950's. It was eroded and in poor condition. It went through a transformation of being bulldozed and redesigned into the forest that exists today. It was not crowded on a Sunday afternoon when I was here. I'd love to return and take a walk when it's not scorching hot. It felt peaceful and relaxing while I was here during my car tour. It's such a gem. It was an unexpected, cool find. (320)

The walking trails are fantastic and well maintained, perfect for exploring the natural landscape. Parking is easy and convenient, which makes the visit even better. It's definitely great for families, love birds, and solo visitors looking to enjoy nature. If you're an animal lover, dogs are welcome too. Truly a lovely, peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle we all get ourselves into from time to time. Check it out -- you'll see exactly what I mean! (Photos taken in early fall) Pro Tip: Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and depending on how long you plan to explore, bring something to drink (water is always a good idea).

Hubby and I drove a good bit of this parkway while visiting Nashville for New Years.

We also stopped to walk a short trail to old limestone mines. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!
