Looking for some pointers on things to check out around Nashville, we are planning a trip over Labor Day weekend.

I realize the downtown area alone can keep some bluegrass loving Yankees busy for days, but how about a fishing hole? Or something a trapper would dig?

Thanks, first trip south of the Mason-Dixon, hoping for the best.

Grand ole Opry

Most of the barbecue places are a little touristy. Unless you haven’t had really good bbq, then it is just a little dry and over cooked.


Check out the Belle Meade plantation.

make sure to take the tour, sign up ahead of time, of the Grand Ole Opry, and you can stand on the same place as the legends....after the huge flood several yrs ago, it is the only pc they salvaged of the original stage.
wish I could help more

visitTN.com and visitnashville.com is also where i'd look

+1 Belle Meade

FOR A FISHING SPOT OR TWO, PERCY PRIEST LAKE JUST EAST OF TOWN, AND OLD HICKORY LAKE JUST NORTH OF TOWN. MAYBE EVEN FLOAT THE DUCK RIVER A LITTLE SOUTH OF TOWN.

I go down that way at least once or twice a year. I'd have to go to the Smokey Mountains at least for an overnight. Probably a bit over a three hour drive from nashville
but lots to see and do. Both spots will cost plenty. Lots of waterfalls and views for the outdoor guy. Can raft, tube, zipline, horseback ride, 4 wheel, etc.

Johnny cash museum. Well worth the visit

Third vote here for Belle Meade Plantation.

AS you head south when you get to bowling green TURN right go on to Ky lake . Forget Nashville. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone, exactly what I was hoping to hear.

See President Andy Jackson's home, the Hermitage. Take in a little history while your there.
