This is a weird park. Its a giant pasture with walking trails mowed throughout. Maybe city folks enjoy it, but as someone who loves hiking through the woods, I just couldnt get over how weird it was to be walking in a giant open field with just the tall brush separating everything. The surrounding views are amazing. There are huge hills all around. The campsite is also pretty cool, but very small and compact.
Love the rolling hills and various paths that you can take. There is also plenty of room to spread out from other hikers during the pandemic, which isn’t always the case on most Nashville trails.
Bells Bend is a great park! We have done multiple programs with Ranger Chris (geocaching and soap carving). Hes great! Very informative and great with the kids!
Excellent location for hiking & birding
We love to take our dogs here! Its quiet and not crowded.
Fantastic spot. The grounds are better than the indoor area though. There just isn’t much to look at.
Quiet pretty park - limited shade.
Sooooo fun. The farmers festival that was held here was amazing, and they have trails and a rock climbing wall inside the center.the yalso have this huge rock outside that doubles as a four sided rock climbing wall. Me and my family had such a good time.
Really beautiful, pastoral trails which go along the Cumberland River, as well.
Amazing place. Worth it to sit on the back porch and hang out.
Nice trails on a farm through fields for short hikes. Is pretty far out of town.
Great park. However if you don’t like dogs, bugs, coyotes and the heat, it’s for you. Lots of space,
Pretty drive and park. Unfortunately I went because I had read that its a great place for stargazing - it wasnt. The light pollution is really bad. This is definitely not a place with a dark sky.
Wow. Beautiful, pure country. Thank you, Nashville, for preserving this area.
Beautiful area. Lots of grass and gravel paths to explore. Can be pretty muddy after rain so make sure you have proper shoes. Excellent for dog people. Just beware of prickers and thorns.
Beautiful park outside of Nashville. Quiet & peaceful, a bit of a drive to get there.Trails are beginner level and may be boring to someone seeking a challenge.
Great time and view!
Don’t take your dog. Our dog got about 50 tics. Otherwise a nice flat walk.
Oh, man, Bells Bend is so beautiful, if yiu have never been, do yourself a favor and visit. Great walking trails, the flowers and wildlife are amazing, especially in a City Park!
Very nice hidden treasure
If youre looking for a great, quiet walk, this is the place. The views of the surrounding hills are amazing.
Pros: 1) Great for low impact running since its all dirt trails; 2) allows dogs; and 3) has several routes that can be combined for long runs/hikes.Cons: 1) Kind of far from the city; 2) doesnt have challenging hills; and 3) gets extremely muddy, which is often in rainy Nashville.
Huge open areas! Mostly fields which were used as farm land (livestock and crops). Part of Nashvilles past history: Big time native Indian village sites taken over later by contemporary man.
Great place to let my dog run around off leash - just watch out for snakes.
Great park and trails perfect for walks
Very cool little spot
Natural park with nice hiking trails.
Really great place, nice views, relaxing. Lots of ticks
