## Overview

 Nat Caldwell Park is located right off of US-31E/Nashville Pike. This park is an ideal place for a day of picnicking and other outdoor activities.
## Recreation

 Nat Caldwell is smaller and not as busy as some of the other parks in the area making it a great place to relax and enjoy your day. It offers a reserveable group picnic shelter, grill, open grassy areas, and shoreline for fishing. It also serves as a great place to launch kayaks and canoes from the shoreline due to the fact is is in the headwaters of Station Camp Creek on Old Hickory Lake. If you need to launch a larger boat, Station Camp Creek is located straight across Nashville Pike just off of Douglas Bend Road.
## Facilities

 The group picnic shelter holds up to 50 guests with parking available for approximately 25 vehicles.

Nat Caldwell Park

**Nat Cardwell Park** was not what I expected. It is a very small recreation area, no boat ramp, no facilities except a porta pot(it was clean)and a pavilion with nice size grill. With all the rain there is an abundance of drift wood and trash in the water and area. A lot of fisher folk and if I lived in the area I would probably visit the park on occasion, but it is not worth the drive when there are other more accommodating parks in the area.
