It’s October in Nashville and we’ve finally seen the weather start to cool off and pumpkins on front porches. But before it gets too cold, be sure to check out the beautiful fall scenery Nashville has to offer. Parke works hard to make sure the many trees and landscapes all over Middle Tennessee are beautiful. And while we don’t get to take care of every single tree in the city, it’s still very rewarding when we hear customers rave about their experiences outside and enjoying Music City’s surroundings. So as the leaves begin to turn and slowly fall off the branches, take advantage of some of Nashville’s most beautiful areas. Need some inspiration? Some suggestions include:
What to Do in Nashville This Fall
Bike the Greenways
This is a great and active way to explore some of the lesser known areas in Nashville. Rent or bring your own bike to the greenway and explore the trails at Two Rivers Park. It’s a great way to get a taste of some of Nashville’s most beautiful and majestic trees, plus, it’s a fun outdoor activity for the entire family to enjoy.
Visit Cheekwood
If you haven’t ever been to Cheekwood, the fall is a great time to check it out! Their landscape is truly something to admire, plus they have beautiful trees that span all over their property. Their fall event, Cheekwood Harvest is a season-long, celebration of all things fall! Their festive event includes a Mum Explosion, a pumpkin patch, pumpkin house, a beer garden and so much more. Cheekwood’s range of fall activities are great for Nashvillians of all ages and it’s a great way to celebrate the falling leaves.
Hike the Warner Parks
If you are looking for something a bit more active but don’t want to bike, we suggest hiking in one of the Warner Parks this fall! There’s nothing like hiking through some of Middle Tennessee’s most treasured parks on a cool, brisk day. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to see a variety of trees, landscape and wildlife. Both Percy and Edwin Warner parks span across 2600 acres of space, and it’s really something to be seen, especially as all the trees change colors for the fall.
There are so many great things to do in Nashville in autumn, especially when it comes to enjoying the outdoors. But really there’s no better place to enjoy the autumn months than your own backyard. Take advantage of your own landscape, and spend some time outside. Read a book underneath your favorite tree or plan a picnic with your family in your backyard. The ideas are endless!
