Scenic Areas

Scenic views abound at Radnor Lake. Overlooks from ridge tops vary from a pinnacle at Gainer Ridge, which reveals winter in downtown Nashville, to unique lake views along three of the trails. Glimpses of the water are common along the Lake Trail. Perhaps the best lake view is from the spillway. Surrounding hills belonging to the natural area provide a scenic backdrop for lake water inhabited by waterfowl, turtles, and aquatic plant life. Deep woods have flowering plants most months and wildlife activity completes the picture Radnor hikers experience.
