About this audio guide
This guide to Beaman Park in Nashville traces a stretch of forest that spent decades as a private hunting preserve, closed to everyone else. It reaches back further, to a ridge once known by another name, farmed and logged and worked by moonshiners in its hollows. You will hear how two doctors turned that old ridge into a hunting ground, and what finally opened it to the public. Listen for Henry Creek and Little Marrowbone Creek running through the hollows below the main trailhead.
