This quiet, 1.6-mile trail is tucked into a residential neighborhood in south Nashville.

Rogers’ Walk is on the campus of Ellington Agricultural Center in the heart of Crieve Hall. The location itself has historical significance, and the land is home to a variety of native ecosystems.

⏱️1.6 mile loop, with short additional add-ons available
🚶‍♂️Natural surface
⛰️Some incline
🌳Mostly shaded
💦Creek access

Visit on a weekday, and you can also check out the @tennessee.agricultural.museum that’s FREE and located on campus!

👉 SAVE this post for your next summer family outing!

A full day of adventure in East Tennessee 💦🌿🍄

👉 SAVE for Tennessee road trip inspo!

(Hosted stay)
This is the @tennesseeoverhill: Polk, McMinn, and Monroe counties, located 1-2 hours outside both Knoxville and Chattanooga (smack dab in the middle).

The region is perhaps most well-known for recreation on the Ocoee and Hiwassee Rivers, but as I learned during my 3-night stay, it’s loaded with history, art, food, nature, and small-town vibes, as well!

Special shoutout to my @witsummit ladies!! @poorinaprivateplane @thewayfaringfoodie @dannaliz @staying_afloat_ @akemisadventures

All I want is 2 acres on the waterfront with a boat launch and bath house for 35 of my closest friends—is that too much to ask??? 😅

Nope, bc @tennesseestateparks hooked us up for our 6th annual spring holiday campout and threw in a covered picnic pavilion, as well!

In addition, you’ll find…
🌱Open, grassy fields
🏕️Shaded tent areas
🔥Multiple fire rings
🍳Charcoal grill
🚿2 bathrooms with showers

The Big Eagle Base Group Campsite at Paris Landing State Park is a secluded site away from the main campground and lodge, right on the shores of Kentucky Lake.

Have I convinced you to group camp yet??

“London opens to you like a novel itself. Those who prefer Paris or Rome complain that the English city has no precise center, that there is no spot in the city that could be considered the hub around which the wheel revolves…

But the truth is that that is not really how London is apprehended. It is divided into chapters, the chapters into scenes, the scenes into sentences; it opens to you like a series of rooms, door, passage, door…

It is as though [different] landscapes, histories, ways of living, can be encapsulated in a walk around the corner—almost any corner.”

From Anna Quindlen’s Imagine London: A Tour of the World’s Greatest Fictional City
