It was a nice park but I was expecting more trails and guided pathways. If you want to fish, swim, or canoe this is a great place for you. I however don’t. Should have known by the name it was primarily a river but it was still a great experience. I would suggest better map instructions though.

A beautiful and quick historical stop for the traveling history lover. Plenty of parking with easy access to the mills interior, all fenced in for safety making an easy viewing experience even for those with small children. However, if you follow the small grave trail behind the mom down to the river, there are no fences preventing one from falling in, and there is also a spot where you can walk out onto the dam portion, completely at your own risk. Parents might wanna keep one hand and two eyes in energetic little ones on that side on the mill!

Love the fresh air and negative ions. The water at the old mill is beautiful. Its a lovely short drive there from Bellevue/Hwy.70 and the trees arching across the road gives it a romantic feel. Great place for an afternoon picnic. Great place to social distance and enjoy the wildflowers and rush of the water! My only deterrent, the mosquitos and distant traffic sounds.

Quiet stop on a long trip. Really nice. Shaded, peaceful and easy to get to and from the interstate.

The history of this place was interesting, but the vibe was odd. It was like people were dressed as actors...really strange

Very pretty!It is very small park mostly for fishing and some picnic tables.The abandoned mill has two platforms for viewing the few remaining mechanical bits.

This is a nice little historical location we found just by driving around one day. Its a perfect place for a picnic or to swim. There are also hiking trails nearby that we werent prepared to take. The information gives a pretty detailed history of the mill. The porta-potty bathroom was surprisingly clean. Perfect for a tranquil afternoon.

One of my favorite places to really clear my head and get in touch with nature.

Very pretty! Me and my friends loved exploring this area! It’s a great place for a day trip

River was nice, only had a few spots where it got really shallow. We floated in some fishing float tubes from Newsom to Hidden Lake which on the map is only 3 miles or so and it took us 7 hours! It was our first time so we fished it pretty heavily and were pretty much only moving by the current but it took much longer than expected. Fishing was ok, slow at first but got a decent smallmouth and a decent spotted bass by the end of it. There are lots of over hangs, cut outs and trees in the water so everything looks good to fish. A kayak would be preferred as it will get around a little better and quicker.

Its so beautiful and clean here great place to swim fish walk with the family

Ruins of old mill and dam. Good spot to put in or take out kayaks or canoes.

Surprisingly nice little area with an easy river access for walking

Newsome mill is small park. A few picknic tables and the remains of the mill right on the Harpeth river. Beautiful spot but did kot catch any fish.

Nice area for a walk

Very chill,lovely place.

Decent park enjoyed the hike.

Not much here if you arent brining a boat or getting in the river.

Really chill and beautiful ️

My friends and I love this place. I fish there, kayak, canoe and just float down the river in a tube. The rangers that come by are very friendly and informative. The park is always clean and family friendly. Ive caught catfish, small mouth and plenty of long nose gar. Go check this place out and get some fresh air.

A great place for family outings,, and a look in to the past with the old structures still standing,,theres also a good amount of hiking trails and clearings here,,so its also i good place for a picnic.

Cool little park with a piece if history. Good access to the river. Nice place to walk the dog.

This place is so historically interesting that its not funny. Parts of the original mill are still here. I jeard its good fishing off the beeak. Really neat trails.

Great historic area. I wouldve given it 5 stars, but theres a HUGE traffic hazard. Just pay the old white house, you have to drive on a one lane, under a bridge, and NO ONE looks, or hardly even slows down. Its super dangerous and theres no one patrolling the place or doing traffic. Watch or going both ways!

One of the smaller state parks. Lovely short walks.

Great place

Was surprised to see the mill with so much. Usually I visit mills with little to nothing left, mostly ruins. This one is in pretty good shape along with the grounds. There is even an old bridge that is being restored by the Boy Scouts.

Great for kayaking! Good launch point with a short Portage to the actual launch.

Always amazing here...great place to take pics

We were there looking and enjoying the freedoms of the park. Very beautiful. Thnx

Great place to go and Reset your mind !!!

Very beautiful place

Very quiet and serene. I like sitting on the spillway and watch nature and people. The old Mill from the 1700s still has the outer walls up.

A hidden gem. A small but very important historical site.

Beautiful attraction and plenty to do. nice place to plan a wedding..

Nice place to have a picnic and the fishings supposed to be pretty good. It also has river access for canoes or kayaks that is pretty easy to get to.

Peaceful & beautiful. Really nice place to visit, picnic, swim and fish. with lotts of history.

Easy hike to the Hidden lake. The Ridge loop trail takes you above Hidden lake.

Beautiful park. Great place for a walk or a picnic
