Bowie Nature Park in Fairview, west of Nashville, has 722 beautiful acres of forest, 17 miles of trails, 6 lakes, and several creeks. We will explore approximately 4.5 miles of trail on this moderate hike. Be aware that last time I checked there was a bridge out across a small creek crossing on the last half mile of this hike. While it is usually possible to cross without getting your feet wet, it is not a total sure thing! Meeting Time: 8:30 am, meet in the parking lot by the restrooms. Estimated Hike Time: 1.5 - 2 hours Difficulty: Easy to Moderate Pets: Dogs on a leash are welcome.
