Enjoy The Tennessee Wilderness With Foggy Bottom Canoe

by Janine Hughes

City life can quickly take its toll. To ease the stress, you need regular escapes into the wilderness, where things are calm and peaceful and the air is fresh and clean. <A href="http://www.tip-a-canoe.com/">Foggy Bottom Canoe</A> offers the perfect way to get back to nature, only a stone's throw from Nashville's lights.

The canoe rental outfit is located in Kingston Springs. This little town is home to around three thousand people. It is located along the Harpeth River in Cheatham County and the drive from Nashville takes only about half an hour.

For a lazy day out, head to Kingston Springs City Park. There are picnic facilities here and the lawns are perfect for a ball game. The park lies right along the river as well, so it's easy to go for a swim or a paddle. If you're looking for serious adventure, though, make the short drive northwards to the local zipline course.

The real reason to come to the Kingston Springs area is the Harpeth River. Apart from the opportunities for swimming and fishing, this river offers excellent canoeing, whether you're a beginner or an expert. The river slowly meanders along so that a new adventure always awaits around the next bend. Foggy Bottom is one of the more popular canoe rental businesses in the area, offering tours of the river as well.

There are different stretches of the river to explore but one not to miss is the Narrows of the Harpeth. Here, one horseshoe bend almost touches another. It's the site of Mound Bottom, where you'll find the archaeological remains of a Native American complex from nearly a thousand years ago. Another popular attraction is the Montgomery Bell Tunnel, which dates from 1819 and was one of the earliest tunnels of its kind in the USA.

When you decide on a canoeing and hiking adventure on the Harpeth River, there are some essentials that should be in your backpack to make your trip a pleasant one. You'll need a bathing suit and sunscreen. Water and snacks are a good idea too. For hikes along the river, you'll need some sturdy shoes and some insect repellent may come in handy too.

The local climate is pleasantly warm and you can visit at any time of year. Even in winter there are plenty of mild days. However, it can be wet and uncomfortably humid. The end of summer and the beginning of fall are great times to visit, since these are the driest times of the year. Moreover, temperatures are still high enough to really enjoy a dip in the river.

The folks of Foggy Bottom and the Kingston Springs area can easily be visited for the day. Should you decide that you'd like to spend the night rather than drive back to Nashville, though, you'll find a range of accommodation options and restaurants in and around town. For popular weekends, such as around public holidays, it's best to book in advance.
