16 Best Lakes In Tennessee For A Relaxing Getaway

Radnor Lake State Park lies within the Nashville metropolitan area, close to all the happenings of downtown Music City and the charming town of Franklin. Before becoming the wildlife sanctuary that it is today, Radnor Lake was originally created in 1914 by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company for watering steam trains and providing water for shipped livestock. Now, city dwellers flock to the lake’s 1,368-acre park to enjoy ranger-led programs like canoe tours, wildflower walks, and astronomy night hikes. The park’s Lake Trail is also accessible to people with all-terrain wheelchairs.
