Radnor Lake

This park is one of Nashville's well-kept secrets. It's only 5 minutes from my house, so we're frequent visitors. We love the hiking and canoeing programs. You need a parking pass to park there on most days, but its free to visit on Wednesdays! Their June calendar is not online yet, but they sent it to me. You can get more information at www.radnorlake.org or 377-1281.
