    New to the Clarksville, TN area and need advice TN/KY

    Hello there,

    Just recently got into hammocks and moved to Clarksville, TN. It is approximately 45 min from Nashville, and I would love to hear from people in the TN/KY areas to go with the family. We want to put our hammocks to good use and would love to know where to go and what is all out there.

    Thanks in advance,

    Kent

    Welcome from just down the road in Dover, TN. I'm near LBL and spend lots of time there. Be glad to show you around some time if you're not familiar with the area. Great place to hike and hang. Also lots of great family stuff to do.

    Welcome from Nashville. Lots of hammockers in Tennessee.

    Might I recommend you check Nashville Backpacker on Meetup.com?

    Thanks to both of you, I will have to check that out on Meetup and potluck we might have to take you up on that generous offer to show us LBL. We have heard people talk about it, but we haven't been yet.

    I have greatly enjoyed hiking all around the Big South Fork area. Lots of variety and about as out there as you want without bushwhacking.

    You have a lot of great areas near you in Clarksville. LBL is the obvious choice for where you are but you aren't too far from some other good places. Mammoth Cave is not too far and there are several state parks around Nashville that are nice as well.

    This coming Monday evening is our annual Nashville Backpacker "Holiday Dinner" and "Dirty Santa Gift Swap" at 7:00 at Ted's Montana Grill on West End Avenue in Nashville. We eat dinner then do the gift swap, though not everyone always participates in the gift swap (but are welcome to be there for the fun anyway). Gifts are new or gently-used backpacking gear, in the $10-$25 value range.

    Anyway, feel free to join us if you like. Anyone else, too!

    There will be several folks to ask about area trails, if you want. If we're not hiking, we enjoy talking about hiking! LOL

    Kent, welcome to the area! I'm in Murfreesboro but you should check out Team Green Adventures as well. Mostly Nashville based but we do a lot of great backpack and day hike trips. A few of us are just getting into the hammock camping as well. New faces are always welcome.

    Ashe- Sorry, I have been in a military school that had me tied up and wasn't on much. I would be up for either one. My wife and I would love to backcountry, but the daughter going with us would be more front country.

    Kary - Thanks for the invite and we will have to check out Team Green Adventures.
