A very short hike around an interesting place. I’m not sure of the history but there’s lots of signs of previous construction and dilapidated structures. The “lake” pond itself doesn’t necessarily have any place to sit by the water but rather you spend most of the time up high on top of the walls around the pond. There are a handful of benches along the trail.There is a nice overlook spot that looks onto the veterans cemetery. Hike is 90 percent cover by trees so don’t expect much breeze blowing through.

Great easy trail with minor elevation changes. Only critique is that the trail was not obviously marked. Beautiful views and a few great options for a hike.

A wonderful Hidden Gem in our Park system. There are time restrictions and they are posted be careful plan ahead. We plan to go back often

Nice, laid back State Park. Hiked trails one day and Canoed another day. The Trails are fairly easy, Great views all along your walk, some moderate elevation changes. The River had some challenges, like Boulders slightly under the water and a couple of faster moving whitewater areas. But overall on easy laid back ride with beautiful views everywhere.

If you have never been here, I highly suggest it. You can feel the presence of years gone by in this quiet forgotten place. Lots of rellics that shows life of the past. Dont go in thinking the lake is still crystal clear and that you can swim with a clean conscious, I read other reviews where people were complaining about it not being clean enough to swim in. Well its been abonded for close to a century so what do you expect.

This is such a peaceful trail and very good for any level hiker. Taking the big loop and finding your way around the little lake is great

Super cool place. Nice little hike close to the city. Went there and relaxed and watched the sunset from a great view overlooking an open field. Will definitely be back.Only reason its not 5 stars is because you can still hear cars, but thats just part of it. Glad this place is so close to home!

This is a lovely part of the park with multiple trails, fairly easy and plenty of nature. Close enough to civilization bit far enough away to really appreciate the wilderness. Great escape from Nashville!

Beautiful trails. Heavily wooded aside from the bluebird loop. Well-maintained with any blocking trees or branches taken care of within a couple days, even after the recent windstorm. Only complaint is once you are on the trails, they are not well signed or marked. Except for a few signs showing you two options at large forks in the trail, many smaller forks or choices to change your distance with no indication of which trail he would be following. None of the trails are super long so if one takes a wrong turn, it’s not the end of the world, but it can be a little frustrating. Especially if you’re just trying to get to the lake and back.

Really pretty, nicely mowed trails thru the fields. Sure wish everyone would take their trash home with them.

Really good and easy walking trail with a lake at the end. Pet friendly.

Nice easy path. There was no one there.

It is pretty rugged on the ridge trail and many parts are not well marked. It’s a nice hike but not a lot of views except for the lake.

Wonderful hidden gem. great place for a short hike with options for level ground, woods, inclines, rock climbing, river access, fishing, vistas, variety of plant life.

Hidden lake is more like a pond filled with scum... no swimming...The hiking was decent. Flat easy parts good for family. Were some more remote trails with some pretty cool rocks to climb on.

A favorite place to take my son for a quick hike in the woods and is a great place to introduce kids to the joys of hiking. He loves to throw stones from the shore into Hidden Lake and we have done a polka or two up on the dance floor above the lake. The trails are pretty easy and fun but you wont find a lot of miles here if that is your thing. The place has a cool history and plenty of parking.

A beautiful place to visit. We visited narrows of the Harpeth from Nashville.  If you are looking for a quiet place with a beautiful view, this 30-minute drive outside of the city is exactly what you need.You can also visit the Hidden Lake the same day. It is also a wonderful trek in the woods. This trail was awesome. Short and sweet, has cool rock formations and a cool little history behind the lake. This honestly felt like moderate difficulty to me, though. The trails aren’t super well marked but it is still not that difficult to get around.Besides the natural beauty of the area, there is the historical significance of Montgomery Bells tunnel through the bluff that separates the harpeth from itself at a location further downstream. The tunnel is 290 feet long, and has a 16 foot drop in elevation from the upstream end to the downstream end. Built in 1819, it is the first diversion tunnel in the country. The tunnel was cut to obtain power from the river flowing through it, and powered some of his iron works. It is the only remaining part of his works in this area.We went here during late fall and the time spent here was really really wonderful.

Truly a beautiful and breathtaking sight. A Hidden Gem that I was so glad to come across. Definitely a great place to come visit. The mountain trail going all the way up was incredible. I had the great pleasure of coming here during the winter to see everything in this state. I do hope to come back again soon to see it in the summer. Definitely a great place to come with friends and family on an outing.

Hidden Lake was a fun hike but the lake itself was kinda gross, not fit for swimming in.. The trails were fun and narrow but lacked signs at splitting trails.

Beautiful park but tons of ticks. We sprayed ourselves and our puppy and within minutes we had a few ticks. Definitely recommend spraying yourself multiple times and checking yourself and anyone else for them. It was pretty bad.

Beautiful auiet and hidden lake is good too

Beautiful and quiet

Hidden lake is a great little secret in West Nashville. Trails are well kept and wide for the most part. You can walk down to the Harpeth River or take a short walk to 2 hidden ponds/lakes in the area. Both are fairly small but beautiful. The larger lake does have fish in it if you want to try your luck there. The bluff trail up and around the lake is a great view but has no guard rail so keep the pets and kids away from the edge as its quite a long fall. All in all of you are looking for a nice path less traveled this is a great one to check out.

Good, dog friendly trail with decent elevation at times. Plenty of cool things to see.

An easy, pretty hike. With a great view at the end. Wasnt very busy on a saturday around 10am

Great trails. Friendly staff. The falls are beautiful.

Very good trail, lake was really hidden beauty. Must visit on the way from Nashville to Memphis. Directions were not clear at start, but totally loved. They close at 04:30, so try to be early

Fun walk and hike close to Nashville. Be sure to hike up on the ridge trail. Be careful tho, its a little steep. Hidden lake used to be the site of fancy society gatherings back in the day. You can still see a concrete pad up on the ridge where the bands used to set up. Hard to imagine, but true. Just Google it...

Pretty state park, quiet shady trails. Not enough parking.

I fish Hidden Lake here. I almost never encounter another angler. Lots of bass and panfish. It’s a great spot close to town.

Nice parking lot, well kept trails, and beautiful little lake.

Great little hikes! Dog friendly! Lots of cool history here with remnants of the resort, old train and lake!

An actual hidden treasures just minutes from the city. I simultaneously want everyone to know how perfect of a hike this is without it being overrun by fellow hikers whenever I want to go.

Loved it. Beautiful and unique walking trail

Very nice place to put in canoes on the river and solid stairs down to the river. Trails through fields and in woods around a nice peaceful lake with bluffs you hike onto.

Very quiet, clean park. We love taking our two Huskies and baby girls. They all love it. Free, cheap fun!

Birdwatching is great here. Good for kids and day hikes. Been here many times.

Enjoy it every time I come.. so relaxing

Its peaceful & quiet. The hike to find it is beautiful.

Easy hike. Its a loop around the pond if you look for the path. It can be muddy in winter, and it can be a little low on water in the summer. You can see the river from the main trail, but its not a clear view. A little noisy due to the proximity of the road. If youre looking for isolation, this is really not the place. There are a few old structures in the vicinity, which are cool to see/explore. Its a nice little hike close to town, and its not too populated. One nice thing is that this is not a party spot - lots of families, couples, and quiet folk. Nice place for a Sunday stroll. Theres also not a lot of trash lying about. Picked up one beer can today, but that was it.

Beautiful trails and scenery

The scenery is spectacular on the trail around the lake (really more of a big pond). And the trail is a little challenging for a fit 55 year old, but its so worth it. Great find.

Always love this place!

Beautiful place to escape into nature!

Not a bad little hike

Beautiful park! Great place to hike.

Good place to come and think. Nice, clean and peaceful

Very beautiful, clean and well maintained park. They kept it very natural. Its a great place for a walk

Awesome place to hike hidden away just like the title. Rich in history as well, Hidden Lake is definitely worth checking out. Some parts of the trail can be a little challenging. Caution to those who have a fear of heights. Definitely check this place out though.

Great trails, good for jogging,very smooth

Always a great place to take the family. Bring water shoes or rain boots so you can get a close to the river.

Beautiful overlook, nice hike, clean area.

Great place to bring the kids....becareful.....but exploration is endless....be sure to read the board for the history context......I love to imagine how it used to be.... see if you can find the old dance floor

Love it we put in and go kayaking here so beautiful and clean

A beautiful place and some strange wildlife in the trees

It was a short trail, but pretty nice. Not too crowded and I was able to take it at a leisurely stroll

Okay but waters not clean and riversides not as beautiful as buffalo river in Arkansas,which is all i had to compare it with, okay i guess

Great trail

Not a bad walk. The trail that goes around the lake is not an official park trial, so its not very wide a little harder.

Great place to hike. Not for everyone. Theres some abandoned buildings as well.

You can see a hidden cave where Indians lived and you are allowed to bring your pets. As long as you have a leash .

Love it so quiet and peaceful

This is one of my favorite parks it’s a great place to go for a walk with the dog. The gates may close at five but I’ve never had a problem parking at the entrance and walking through with the gate closed.

Great screnery

Lots of walking, some along the Harpeth. Two picnic tables. That was all we saw.

Loved this place. Me and my 7yr old had a wonderful day exploring. I will definitely visit again.

We actually live nearby and have noticed how well the place is kept but now that we have finally hiked it, this truly a treasure! Good job State of Tennessee; and mostly, good job Rangers!-)

Beautiful place to hike with great views!

Wonderful set of trails to walk, the views of the countryside from the tops of the mountain dudes are immaculate, the experience is nice and the old Capone house is cool. ;-)

Been enjoying this little park with my dog for 11 years. Small but scenic and nice.

Beautiful scenery

Nice, clean little hike. Trails and points of interest are not maked other than the occasional marking for tree species.

Before it was a park, I happened to find this place and I thought I had discovered something mysterious. I live nearby and about 14 years ago, I rode my bike down what appeared to be a trail into the woods. It honestly gave me the creeps - the stone house, the kerosene tank, the platform, and then . . . stairs leading to a huge hole in the ground? Wow! I remember that day every time I visit this park. Im glad it is there and that people use it. Take your friends and family and remember to leave it just like it was when you got there if not a little better. Pick up a piece of trash if you see one, please.

A hidden gem in Pegram. Good spot to swim, jump off a big rock and get some teenage nookie in.

This place is a jewel

Nice little hidden park. Fun fact, the show Nashville filmed here once.

Plenty of parking, nice easy walking trails. Good scenery especially around the lake.

Very beautiful place

I lot of the parks I visit are littered with trash, not the case with this one. Truly like taking a walk in the country away from the busyness of the nearby city and strip malls. Limited hiking trails, access to the Harpeth River for canoes and kayaks. Two picnic tables, one portable restroom.

Nice trails for a not so strenuous hike. Pretty area

Very nice place for nature views and hiking.

2 mile easy trail loop. Lits of local History in this little park.

The best challenging trail Ive hiked in Nashville.

Great views and short, moderate hiking trails that take you to a hidden lake nestled alongside the Harpeth River.

Beautiful, my family loved this place, we will be coming back..

By far my favorite hiking spot near Nashville. Moderate difficulty. Great views.

Beautiful natural area.

A little muddy, but manageable and really pretty.

This park has some nice 1.5 mile walks around a (spoiler alert) hidden lake. But seriously, some really nice places to enjoy the view of some hydrology, biology, geology, and a bit of zoology.

Nice park.... love it... completely isolated/less crowded...

Beautiful hidden gem

Hidden lake is a hidden gem. Not crowded and a pretty hike.

Enjoyed the hike.

Beautiful place to take pictures

Great place for a hike!

Hot , no air, no area to swim doesnt even look like a river

Nice trails

Beautiful park

Awesome quiet park

Peaceful
