IN CLARKSVILLE
First and foremost, Clarksville, Tennessee is an
historic river city. The Cumberland and Red
Rivers merge in the heart of the city where a
fully-developed and ever-expanding River-
Walk serves as a launching pad for recre-
ational opportunities like kayaking, boating
and fishing…and links pedestrians directly to
downtown.
Clarksville’s Blueway connects the Cumber-
land and Red Rivers, plus other scenic creeks.
Outings from 2-14 miles for canoeing and
kayaking give both the skilled and the novice
a fun and memorable adventure.
The enviable climate makes most outdoor ac-
tivities pleasant year around. Golf, hiking, hunt-
ing and fishing, road and trail biking are
popular during all four distinctly beautiful sea-
sons.
A few miles south of the city limits, nestled on
a sprawling 126-acre estate, is the Mont-
gomery County Shooting Complex. This world-
class dynamic facility offers countless options
for all ages, including sporting clays, traps,
skeet, tactical pistol ranges, 3-D archery and
more. For the true Southside experience, bring
a hearty appetite to the Southside General
Store!
Hikers and nature lovers will enjoy the scenic
110-acre Dunbar Cave State Natural Area with
fantastic wildlife viewing. The adjacent 18-hole
Swan Lake golf course is also a popular year-
round destination.
Disc golf is a family favorite in Clarksville. Two
9-hole courses offer contrasting landscapes:
Rotary Park is set at the back of the expansive
wooded park and Airport Park is gently rolling,
with mostly short holes and few trees.
Don't end your time in Clarksville without indulging your taste buds
and absorbing the culture. Spend time relaxing at Beachaven
Vineyards & Winery, Old Glory Distilling and three craft breweries
serve fine local libations. A multitude of ethnic restaurants, along-
side top-notch authentic southern fare like barbecue and catfish,
satisfy any craving.
