Cheekwood Harvest is back with an explosion of more than 75,000 pumpkins in our annual Pumpkin Village, with three pumpkin houses, sweeps of more than 4,000 chrysanthemums and a nine-foot-tall P’mumkin topiary made of orange mums arranged in the shape of a giant pumpkin. Bring family and friends out to stroll through the Bradford Robertson Color Garden, capture the perfect harvest photo, walk along the scarecrow trail, and tap your toes to music in the beer garden each weekend. Round out the day by purchasing a pumpkin to take home and carve with the family.

Cheekwood

Enjoy this picturesque park in its natural state, largely forested with abundant wildlife, nature trails and the spring headwaters of the Little Harpeth River. The park also includes the beautifully restored antebellum Ravenswood Mansion built in 1825. Roughly 75 percent of the land located in the western area of the park is wooded and has both hillsides and scenic valleys. This area remains in a natural state with about nine miles of hiking trails. A multi-use trail connects the park to adjoining neighborhoods and the City’s main trail system along the Little Harpeth River. Smith Park, originally known as Ravenswood Farm, is located on the west side of Wilson Pike, south of Split Log Road.

Radnor Lake State Park is a 1,368-acre park and is protected as a Class II Natural Area. It is unique due to the abundance of wildlife viewing opportunities, environmental education programs, hiking opportunities, and its location in an urban area. The park is day-use only and the 7.75-miles&nbsp;of&nbsp;trail&nbsp;are strictly used for hiking, photography, and wildlife observation. Pets, jogging, and bicycles are only allowed on the Otter Creek Road trail. The Lake Trail is accessible to people with all-terrain wheelchairs.The park is perfect for nature enthusiasts to observe owls, herons, and waterfowl as well as many species of amphibians, reptiles, and mammals such as mink and otter. Hundreds of species of wildflowers, mosses, fungi, ferns, and other plants, as well as trees, shrubs, and vines, add to the natural ecological diversity of the area.&nbsp;Several ranger-led programs are planned throughout the year&nbsp;including&nbsp;canoe floats, wildflower walks, astronomy night hikes, nature hikes, programs on snakes, off-trail land acquisition hikes, and birds of prey.&nbsp;
