Radnor Lake

This week has been a struggle with balancing work, school, yard work (spring flipped out way too early!), and social life. (I actually went out this week)! Yet, I feel exhausted and there is nothing like a wonderful walk in the woods to cleanse your spirit. I always feel light and happy there among the forest trees as the smells of nature always put me in a good mood. Though I live in the city, there is a wooded oasis with trails that run over ridges and meander around a beautiful lake: Radnor Lake.

To keep it feeling like nature, the Radnor Lake  Preserve does not allow running, biking, or the bringing of pets on the trail. While this might seem restrictive, this protects the woods and its inhabitants and lets the community enjoy the nature. I usually hike the trails on early to midmorning Sundays and see lots of deer. The trail is dirt but mulched in places. After a nice hike, I feel renewed and refreshed! If you are in Nashville, TN and like nature and walking, I highly recommend going! It is only about 15 minutes out of downtown.
