Saturday, May 16 - Hikes: Hidden Lake (8 AM sharp!) and Narrows of the Harpeth (approx 10 AM)

Double the Views!

Dust off your hiking boots and join your Nashville Ski Club friends for a morning exploring two of Middle Tennessee’s most unique "hidden gems" along the Harpeth River. We’re tackling two scenic spots in one morning—come for one or stay for both!

Part I: Hidden Lake Ridge Loop
We’ll start at the Hidden Lake Trailhead for a 2.4-mile loop. This easy-rated trail offers a modest 200ft elevation gain, rewarding us with beautiful overlooks of the secluded lake and the winding Harpeth River.
  • Where: 7851 McCrory Lane, Nashville, TN

  • When: Meet at 8:00 AM; Leaving at 8:15 AM SHARP!

Part II: The Narrows of the Harpeth
After Hidden Lake, we’ll take a quick 15-minute drive to the Narrows. We’ll trek to the waterfall at the historic Montgomery Bell Tunnel (one of the oldest man-made tunnels in the country!) before heading up the Bluff View Trail. You'll see exactly how the "Narrows" got its name with a panoramic view of the river's horseshoe bend.
  • Stats: Roughly 1 mile total / Easy rating.

  • Where: 1300 Narrows of the Harpeth Rd, Kingston Springs

  • When: Approximately 10:00 AM (post-Hidden Lake)
Gear Tip: Wear comfortable shoes with good traction and bring plenty of water. Let's enjoy the spring breeze before the summer heat arrives!

RSVP: Please register on the event page so we'll know to expect you!

Pizza, Pints, and a Premiere

Get ready for an epic night at the Nashville Ski Club’s favorite "Headquarters!" We’re heading to TailGate Brewery on Charlotte Pike for a casual evening of craft brews, scratch-made pizza, and a movie under the stars.

The Details:

  • Movie Night: Stick around! At 7:00 PM, the large outdoor screens kick on for TailGate’s weekly Movie Night. (The movie title will be announced soon—stay tuned!)
  • Rain or Shine: If the Tennessee weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll move the party into their huge indoor taproom or the heated "Party Barn."
The Plan:
  • 5:30 PM: Gathering and social hour at the back picnic tables.

Saturday, June 6 - Hike: Honey Creek Loop Hike - 9:30 AM CT (10:30 ET)

The Legendary Honey Creek Loop: Are You Up for the Challenge?

⚠️ TIME ZONE WARNING: This hike meets in the Eastern Time Zone. If you're driving from Nashville, you'll "lose" an hour on the way—plan accordingly!

Get ready for what USA Today called one of America’s Top 20 day hikes. This isn't just a trail; it's a natural obstacle course. Join Kevin Ensrud and the NSC crew for a 6-mile immersion into the rugged beauty of the Big South Fork.

What to Expect:
  • The Terrain: This is a Moderate to HARD technical trek. Prepare for boulder scrambles, ladder climbs, creek crossings, and even a rope-assisted rock face descent.

  • The Reward: Breathtaking river overlooks, hidden "Garden of Eden" waterfalls, massive rock houses, and lush spring rhododendrons.

  • The Plan: Meet at the Honey Creek Overlook at 9:30 AM CENTRAL/10:30 AM EASTERN. After the hike, we’ll head out for a much-deserved group dinner on the way home.
Carpooling:

PLEASE let us know who plans to carpool or if you will meet us at the Overlook Trailhead. 

Let's meet in Mount Juliet at 7:15 CT (gives us time for bathroom breaks)

This is our carpool spot in Mt. Juliet. 
Take I-40 to Exit 226 (Mount Juliet Road) and go to the right. Then take the second left into the shopping center. You’ll see Chick-fil-A there. Park in the lot behind Chick-fil-A, and we’ll meet there.

If anyone is coming from I-840 to I-40E we can meet in Lebanon. Let us know and we will arrange for carpooling there.

Location: Honey Creek Overlook, Allardt, TN (Find it on Waze!)
View the loop: on the All Trails site
