Bath house near lakefront camping has bathrooms but no shower. The lake front camping spots are gravel and are going to be rough on your tarp/tent/airmattress/feet. Happy Hollow looks fantastic and I definitely would've loved to stay there. They have hook-ups, bathrooms, and showers. There is no longer a playground at happy hallow like it shows on the map and lists on the website. We went to Eva Beach recreation area and there is a playground there but it's about a 12 minute drive from the campgrounds. The recreation area had a sandy beach, but a foul smell and the water was very dirty. There are 2 large factories that make a humming noise that can be heard from the campgrounds and constantly seeing the large plumes of smoke from them on both sides of the lake ruins the nature side of things. The cabins were nice. Lakefront camping spots are not kid friendly - lake on one side and a road that people fly down on the other. I personally wouldn't recommend this park especially for families but if you have to stay here then stay at happy hollow.

Big Cypress Tree State Park is a small park, at 300 acres, in Greenfield, Tennessee. It's 2 and a…read morehalf hours from Nashville. Frankly, if I'd taken the drive directly there for this, I would've been disappointed. But I coupled it with a trip to Reelfoot Lake State Park, so it was fine. It was the home to a 1300 year old tree that was acknowledged across the nation as the largest tree east of the Mississippi River, and the largest cypress tree in the United States. The park was opened in 1973, and lightening struck and killed the titular tree in 1976. The park still holds the name to this day. It has a singular trail, a .38 mile paved path with tree identification. It has a garden that is overgrown and not taken care of very well. It also has a playground, a ballfield, a picnic shelter, and a boardwalk. It was a unique experience, and worth it if you're in the area, but it is not a destination.

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!

Serenity, beauty, tranquility, lush, green, nature escape...several words that come to mind when I…read morethink of Timberland Park. We stumbled upon the park while driving the Trace and decided to stop for a quick stroll and stretch. We were pleasantly surprised with the immaculate trails (perfect t for walking or running), and the lush greenery that surrounded it. The trails are marked so it's easy to navigate, and you're never too far from the car. As we were walking a light drizzle began and the sound of the wind and the rain falling on the trees was magical. Timberland Park is a place that takes you away from the city and into a world of nature and calm. If we lived here I would frequent the park and run the trails. They also have swings and benches along the way for a rest or a lovely place to sit down and journal or ponder life. The park is very well kept and the ranger does a good job of making sure people know when it's closing time. They have porter potties available if necessary as well. I wish we had more time to explore because I am sure there are wonders throughout the park that I have missed, but maybe I'll discover them next time, Highly recommend Timberland Park for exercise, recreation, personal reflection time, or just a pretty picture.

During the Civil War, when the Union and Confederate soldiers were working hard to ruin each others' supply lines, this actually became the site of a Union supply depot. This site was established as a state park in 1971, and is very cool. It's a tribute to the Civil War significance, and there are cannon and cabin replicas. The hiking trails snake around Kentucky Lake, and there is also a Civil War graveyard on site. This is such an amazing, well worth road trip from Nashville.
