Radnor Lake is one of the more popular outdoor areas in Nashville. It's easily accessible and offers some of the best hiking in the area with a variety of trails for all abilities and ages.I took my two boys (5 and 9) on a lovely fall morning.

2.5 mile hike. Test run with iPhone in Otterbox/backpack and in pocket. No phone service in area. Elevation at parking/trailhead approximately 830 according to map.
My first real hike back after the winter. More difficult than I thought, but also quite amazing!
Nice hike for the family. I saw a lot of wildlife.

Hiked with C. Saw fifteen deer. From the road on the way in, we saw four bucks and a doe. Two bucks were small and were play-fighting. One buck was a six-point. The other was a large eight- or ten-point.
