Escape the summer heat by taking a refreshing plunge in one of Tennessee's renowned natural swimming spots.

Join us as we trek to the stunning location. The trails are not too lengthy, but they can be challenging and slippery. While it's not mandatory to take a dip, we will be spending a lot of time near the water. You're welcome to spread out your towel and soak up the sun while we enjoy our time in the water.

Welcome in Spring with a moderate hike around some of Tennessee's most underrated waterfalls.

We will explore a multi-trail system through tranquil surroundings featuring three waterfalls and fields of wildflowers.

Join me for an early morning hike, where we'll get scenic views of Machine Falls, Busby Falls, and Bobo Creek. This 4-mile hike can get steep and slick, but the views are worth it.

(Optional: The water is safe for swimming, so pack a swimsuit if you wish to get in!)

Grab your daypack, favorite snacks, and plenty of water, and meet me at your new favorite spot!

Happy New Year, y'all!

I invite you to join us for a beautiful day hike. We will meet for quick introductions before departing on the 3.7-mile loop. This moderate trail offers exceptional views of Percy Priest Lake as we walk along its shoreline. At a modest elevation gain of 262 feet, be prepared to traverse a few rockier patches. Otherwise, the trail is relatively flat. (Please note that if there is rain earlier in the week, the trail can get muddy in spots. Make sure you wear appropriate footwear!) Most people complete the loop in less than an hour and a half, but we'll take it slow, with frequent stops as needed. Pack a snack or two (or perhaps a lunch) and your favorite water bottle, and meet me out at one of Nashville's most underrated gems.
