Me and my girlfriend had an amazing hike at Radnor Lake this week. Some absolutely magical moments that we were lucky enough to catch on camera.

Non-Stop Nashville: 4 Days In Music City, Then Time For A Change

Birding Hotspot: Radnor Lake, Nashville, Tennessee, USA

[Google Maps]  

  15 minutes south of downtown Nashville is Radnor Lake, a small gem of a state park tucked away between suburban areas. The lake has drawn an incredible number of species over the years—over 200 per the eBird data. Bald Eagles nest here, as do Great Blue Herons (in a heronry, which is a little like an apartment building for herons—multiple nests in the same tree), and it often draws ducks that are rare for Tennessee.

Rarities for the Nashville area over the past few years have included Long-Tailed Ducks (typically in the Atlantic Ocean in February), Surf Scoters and White-Winged Scoters, Willets, Red-Necked Phalarope, and Limpkin.

Owls, woodpeckers, and songbirds fill the woods around the lake. Deer, wild turkeys, and turtles also hang out here.

Hotspot amenities: There is a small nature center (where the Tennessee Ornithological Society's Nashville chapter meets), with restrooms, and parking for about 40 cars (that's my best guess; it can sometimes get very busy, and finding a parking spot is not guaranteed; you may have to wait in line).

A popular walking trail loops around the lake (approx. 4 miles, I think; it can be walked in about 90 minutes), with a number of viewing platforms. The main loop is accessible to all-terrain wheelchairs. Unpaved portions of the trail are off-limits to bicycles, joggers, and pets.

The park is also home to the Barbara J. Mapp Aviary Education Center, where on select days visitors can view the center's captive birds of prey, venomous and non-venomous snakes, and turtles.

Officially going to Nashville for my birthday in April! Any recs for places to go and things to see??

omg ...

centennial park - for the beautiful parthenon and also the taylor bench

the bluebird cafe - i recommend trying to get tickets for one of the nights that you're there because it's such a special experience (you have to buy tickets a week ahead)

hattie b's - iconic nashville hot chicken sandwich, not my personal fave but this is the popular opinion

broadway - obviously, bars & country music might not be your thing but it's a cool place to see even if it's for a bit

mcdougal's - this is MY favorite chicken place, it's not nashville hot chicken sandwich but the chicken tenders are veryyyy good

radnor lake - if you have time to explore around the nash area, i love this place for a nice hike around the lake and there's a couple of bald eagles near there!

¡Hola, buenos días, humanidad! 🌍 ¡Feliz domingo! 💪🌟🚀🏆🌈📈🌱🌞🎯🌺 Hoy os traigo la imagen de Nashville, Conocida como la "Ciudad de la Música", es la capital del estado de Tennessee, en Estados Unidos. Famosa por su escena musical, especialmente en torno al country, la ciudad alberga numerosos lugares emblemáticos como el Grand Ole Opry House, el Salón de la Fama y Museo de la Música Country y el histórico Auditorio Ryman.

Más allá de la música, Nashville ofrece una rica historia, evidente en sus barrios antiguos y museos como el Museo de Johnny Cash. La ciudad también se caracteriza por su ambiente universitario gracias a la presencia de la Universidad Vanderbilt.

Rodeada de colinas y bañada por el río Cumberland, Nashville presume de una belleza natural que se puede disfrutar en parques como el Centennial Park o en escapadas cercanas al Parque Estatal Radnor Lake.

Vida consciente 🌟

Cuando estés pasando por momentos difíciles y sientas que nada sale bien, y empieces a perder la esperanza, no te preocupes. Trata de mantener la calma. Aunque los días sean malos, de vez en cuando tendrás uno bueno, incluso excelente. Guarda esos buenos momentos en tu memoria, protégelos de la negatividad. Estos días son importantes, te muestran que habrá días mejores, que la vida tiene altibajos, pero también momentos de felicidad. Aunque vuelvas a la rutina habitual al día siguiente, recuerda que todo se equilibra tarde o temprano. El secreto para sobrevivir a los días más oscuros es recordar el calor de los días hermosos y volver a sentirlo cuando más lo necesites.
