NATURAL AREA
One of Clarksville’s most scenic
areas, this 144-acre park is the

40’s the cave entrance served as a
naturally air-conditioned venue for
Big Band performances. Some of
the oldest known prehistoric cave
drawings have been found inside
the cave. Three hiking trails are
open year-round from dawn to dusk.
