A Day Trip to Edgar Evins State Park on Center Hill Lake
Just 65 miles east of Nashville, Edgar Evins State Park sits tucked into the steep, hilly Eastern Highland Rim — close enough for a spontaneous Saturday, remote enough to feel like a genuine escape. The park stretches across 6,000 acres along the shores of Center Hill Lake, and a single day here gives you more than enough to fill it.
