Radnor Lake, Nashville

Now that summer has arrived and everything has turned green I returned to Nashville to see the lakes and area again. And take some more pictures! I had looked on google satellite maps for lakes and decided that Lake Radnor was a place I wanted to see. We drove there in a very short time. It is really close to the interstate and the city. But when you are there you feel as if you are in the wilderness, miles from anywhere...except for the winding paved road.


The paved road continues to the lake but you must park about a quarter of a mile away and walk on the road or hike a trail because the road is closed to cars. It was a very hot and humid day. There were very many people out hiking and jogging and riding bikes. The lake itself is not very large and as you can see it really isn't appropriate for swimming or water sports. There were actually a lot of deer in the lake at the edge although none in this picture at this particular time.

A picturesque tree trunk.



We saw a lot of deer in this park.


Nice tall tree.

Have fun with the puzzle. If you don't have time change the cut to a few pieces and/or have it solve automatically.




This little guy has a long way to go.



The previous night we drove to Old Hickory Lake which is to the northeast of Nashville and not far at all. It has a beach for swimming and pavilions with picnic tables. This lake had a lot of fishermen. Most fishing from the shore but a few boats out on the lake. This area is close to the dam.


Next time maybe I will go swimming...
