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.

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.

One of my favorite running paths in the world! When I was a…read morelittle girl this used to be railroad tracks. We would get off the school bus and walk down the tracks to get home. Now it's a clean, shaded walking, running biking path. The city of Clarksville turned the old railroad tracks into a walking path with a bathroom. I usually start at the Mary's Oak parking lot entrance and run to the bathroom. It's exactly 2 miles out. There are clear distance markers along the path. There's another parking lot at the bathroom area. They have bikes you can rent there. I have been down further past the bathrooms and it's absolutely gorgeous that way. A couple of steep hills keep me off that part of the path. Have seen deer, bobcats and tons of birds and squirrels, Sometimes I have found cute painted rocks here as well. Bravo Clarksville!

What do you do with twin 4 year olds with too much energy? Head to the park for an adventure, of…read morecourse. Clarksville is full of parks, and I have enjoyed each one that I have visited. I must say, though, that Billy Dunlop park has been the best one (so far) for more than just a playground. Not only is there a large shelter, but there are lots of concrete picnic tables scattered around. Perfect for social distancing or just a little more privacy. Other than the human noise, the only thing you will hear here is nature's finest symphony; birds singing and the creek babbling. Today was all about some old school fun with some education thrown in. Tossing sticks off one side of the bridge and watching for them to drift by on the other side. Launching rocks into the water and seeing how many circles were made. Watching the birds and picking out the different ones. Learning to respect all kinds of critters in their natural habitat. Yes, kids, there really is more to do than bury your head in your phone. Of course, with all of this green space comes lots of bugs. Don't forget the repellant, or you will find yourself quite itchy.

Brought my sister and our kiddos here to play a few times over the last couple of weeks (ages 7, 2.5, 1.5, and 4 months.) Two areas for playing- one side for toddlers and the other for older kids who can climb without needing help. There is a basketball court, pavilion, restrooms, plenty of sitting areas and benches. The park as a little creek running through it with 2 bridges on either end, and a walking path that encircles the whole thing. The creek isn't very deep, maybe knee high? So no scary situations if you let your little one wander around it. My oldest (7) spent the majority of his time at the creek playing with rocks and sticks. (Nature lover at heart ) Perfect little park for strolling through a nice park and letting kiddos run around, or having a little picnic on a sunny day!

The park is large enough to social distance and enjoy events such as football, soccer, and birthday parties or simply just want some alone time to read, meditate, or people watch. There are several benches availble around to park. If you are interested in some adventure, Liberty Park offers a Wetland Tour. This is a self-guided, interactive walk featuring 8 plaques that can be scanned using a phone or tablet. Scan the QR code to open a web page with written text and images that provides information on plants, animals, habitats and other park interests. I only had time to do one Wilma Rudolph, a Track and Field Olympian. Clarksville Police does patrol the park to enforce order in needed.

Do watch out for geese/duck poo as it is everywhere around the pond. Small price to pay for the opportunity to come face to face with a mama duck and her little ducklings. Dragonflies will fly right on up to your nose and turtles will wink at you from their log perches in the pond. Parking is free and there are bikes for rent, too.
