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.
