It was a beautiful Saturday morning when my husband and I decided to join our friends Corey and Casey to the park. It had been rainy and gloomy for a few days so we figured like it was a sunny day, why not? We ended up going to a nearby park called Billy Dunlop Park (more information to come) located in Clarksville, Tennessee. It was a little muddy but beautiful.
When we arrived we let the girls play at the playground. Shortly after we decided to hit the trail. It’s a short trail but very pretty, surrounded by trees. The trail then continues by the side of the river into the woods at the other end of the park. It is a fairly small park but definitely a place for a fun family outing.
About The Park

They have events throughout the year and pavilions that you can rent out for your own events such as birthdays. This park also has some amazing spots to take portraits at. One including the bridge that is this park’s landmark.

What a lovely park! I would love to make a visit to this region, I went as a kid but didn’t get to explore. The trees over there are so beautiful! This looks like a great park to check out, and like you and your family had a great time!
Thank you. It is a very pretty park. I think you could do so much all year round. Kayaking, playground, the trail, picnics, fishing. I loved it.
