Harpeth River State Park - Newsom's Mill

Very historic with panels of facts on sight. Good place to take the kids swimming. Very peaceful. Quiet, save for the occasional train. It isn't a very big park though

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.

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 we're 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.
