Radnor Lake State Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radnor Lake State Park is a popular state park in Nashville, Tennessee.
The 1,100 acre (4.45 km2) park lies in the heart of Nashville, unusual for a major American city. Four unpaved trails wander through the woods surrounding the lake, where hikers enjoy wilderness native to Middle Tennessee, including the white-tailed deer. The most popular trail is the paved road that runs along the water, where cars are no longer allowed. There is a visitor's center open daily.
Radnor Lake was created by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company in 1914 for their officials and guests. In 1962, the property was sold to be developed, but public pressure influenced the state to purchase the property in 1973 and create a new park.
