DOG-FRIENDLY PARKS IN HENDERSONVILLE, TN

Rolling hills north of Nashville cradle Hendersonville's 62,000 residents along Old Hickory Lake's northern shore, where humid subtropical weather brings summer heat above 90°F and mild winters averaging 35°F. The Cumberland River's impoundment creates 22,500 acres of waterfront, with neighborhoods climbing wooded hillsides away from the lake. Spring arrives early with blooming redbuds, while fall colors peak in late October across mixed hardwood forests.
