One beautiful Sunday afternoon, we decided to go canoeing on the Harpeth and it was one of our favorite activities of the summer! We reserved a canoe through Canoe Music City<\/a>. We opted for the 5 mile trip, which took about 3 hours with a few stops to swim, each lunch and play in the water.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once we were checked in, the staff loaded us up and drove us over to Harpeth River State Park in Kingston Springs. They had everything we needed-paddles, life jackets and of course, a canoe! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We packed a cooler with drinks and snacks for our float! I thought the 5 mile trip would be too long but it ended up being the perfect time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There’s something so peaceful about being on the water and taking in nature. It’s just good for the soul! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The river was very calm and relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The river was not very crowded and there were several places to “dock”. Lily Caroline loved catching tadpoles, butterflies and skipping rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The highlight of our day was meeting this sweet, 3-legged pup who lives on the river. We later (through Facebook) connected with her owner and learned that her name is Willow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Willow loved fetching sticks and swimming. We quickly fell in love with this sweet pup! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Spending time on the Harpeth is what summers should be made of: time with family, sunshine, fresh air and water! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once our trip was complete, Canoe Music City helped up load up our equipment and drove us back to our car. They made the day super simple and fun!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, we explored Kingston Springs. Such a quaint town with beautiful homes. We found a few shops and tasty treats at Sweet T’s Ice Cream shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s always good to go on an adventure! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
