Hamilton
Creek Mountain Bike Trail is Nashville’s & Davidson County’s
only Mountain Bike Park. Located at 2901 Bell Rd, Nashville, TN
37217 - between Nashville’s Metropolitan Airport and Percy Priest
Lake adjacent to the Sailboat Marina, Hamilton Creek consists of
two trails connected by a tunnel that goes under Bell Road. It is
considered one of the most technically challenging trail systems
in Middle Tennessee. Originally created as a result of outlawed
riding at Percy Warner Parks, the trail system is now over 15 years
old and is currently being rehabilitated to I.M.B.A. standards through
volunteer efforts. The Trails are situated on Army Corps of Engineer
property and are managed by Metro Parks and Recreation.

Camp
Widjiwagan (Joe C. Davis YMCA Outdoor Center) is a fun, action-packed
adventure that offers campers a unique experience while strengthening
the values parents instill in their children each day. Widjiwagan
is an Ojibwa word meaning “close, lifelong friend.” At the YMCA,
Widjiwagan translates into a fun, adventure-filled summer experience
that helps campers grow strong in spirit, mind and body while learning
valuable camp and life skills. Camp offers a perfect setting to
teach character development, with daily opportunities for campers
to learn teamwork, the art of cooperation and how to make good choices.
As they begin to understand more about themselves and their surroundings,
campers also form friendships that last well beyond their days at
camp. It is then that they learn the true meaning of their time
at Camp Widjiwagan.
