Natural Swimming
Percy Priest Lake
Percy Priest Beach, Anderson Road Recreation Area is located at 4010 Anderson Rd, Nashville, TN 37217. Cost $5 per car
Cook Day Use Area located 12230 Old Hickory Blvd, Hermitage, TN 37076
Percy Priest Lake Park located 3778 Bell Rd, Hermitage, TN 37076
Elm Hill Boat Ramp located in Elm Hill Recreation Area- I believe it costs $5 per car to park. You can walk along the trail to your right, along the water, all the way to some cliff jumping and a rocky spot to hang out
Foster Falls
Located in South Cumberland State Park, it is a drive away from Nashville. But it is a beautiful natural swimming hole beneath a waterfall- with hiking, trails, camping, climbing, fall creek falls, and more!
Old Hickory Beach
located at 876 Burnett Rd, Old Hickory, TN
cost $5 per vehicle
Harpeth River
About 30 minutes from Nashville- you can canoe, float, fish, and hike alongside the Harpeth River
Cummins Falls
Cummins Falls is a beautiful waterfall to hike into, even with a small swimming hole at the bottom. It is not the easiest hike in but not too difficult either, not many places to hang out at the falls other than some rocks 🙂 worth it.
