Great Hikes Near in Nashville: Highland Lake Beaman Trail in Beaman Park Beautiful ridgeline hike through the secluded woods of Beaman Park. The trail begins at Beaman's higher trailhead, which basically starts at the ridgeline level. The entire trail is forested. The trail is well-signed and well-blazed. The Highland Trail intersects and briefly joins the Henry Hollow Loop. There is a brief split in the trail early on (do both sides). The gullies and dropoffs are impressive, and catching the last of the fall color in the morning light was a treat. At the turnaround point of the trail there are benches, making it a good place for a snack. The Beaman Park Nature Center is a great jump-off point with mre than 1700 acres to explore and environmental education and natural history displays, a 300 foot accessible boardwalk; grounds landscaped with native plants; and the main trailhead for five miles of hiking trails. HOURS: Dusk till dawn |
