  • Great Ways to Get Your Steps in While Visiting Dickson County

    It’s hard to believe, but spring is already on its way. Every year, we say we just can’t believe it’s February, but this year we really mean it. But as spring approaches, we can finally look forward to getting outdoors. Put away your trendy loungewear and forget your plans to eat cereal for all three meals—it’s a new year and time to put those resolutions to good use! Spring is coming and Dickson County has outdoor activities for new health resolutions of all ambitions.

    The disc golf course at Dickson’s Buckner Park is great fun for everyone. Whether you’re playing alone or with family, a seasoned golfer or a rookie, you can enjoy a round of disc golf. If you’re new to the sport, rest assured it’s exactly what is sounds like: golf but with a frisbee instead of a ball and a basket instead of a hole in the ground. This gold-level course is located in beautiful Buckner Park and meanders through scenic woods and open fields. Watch out for the large lake that comes into play in the course—it may just get the best of you and steal your frisbee!

    On the other hand, if you’re a golf purist, there’s something for you as well in Dickson County. The Montgomery Bell golf course features rolling hills and, if you’re lucky, wildlife sightings such as deer, geese, and wild turkey. If you want to extend your visit in Dickson (and you definitely should!), you can stay at the lodge, which sits on Lake Acorn, and enjoy kayaking, hiking trails, the outdoor pool, and craft beers in the lounge (hello, happy hour!). Another option is GreyStone Golf Club, a gorgeous course designed by Mark McCumber, a PGA Tour pro. Hit the links, and before long, you’ll have logged some serious steps without even realizing it!

    If you’re more of a nature enthusiast than a heavy hitter at the tee, the Montgomery Bell Trail is for you. This trail spans 10.4 miles and is rated as moderately difficult, so it can be enjoyed by experienced hikers and newcomers alike. The Montgomery Bell Trail is extremely versatile and lends itself to activities as various as hiking, running, camping, fishing, and backpacking. There are three shelters where you can camp out along the trail and even a few small creeks to cross over. Don’t leave your dogs cooped up at home—the fur baby BFFs are welcome on the trail too!

    Nothing motivates you to get your exercise in quite like the coming of spring, and nowhere has better outdoor opportunities than Dickson. From disc golf to classic golf to hiking, you’ll discover an array of out-and-about activities for any age and any New Year’s resolution—all socially distanced so you can stay safe while staying active in 2024. Treat yourself to a change of scenery featuring fresh air and fond memories in Dickson County this spring!

  • The Two-Day Getaway You Deserve: Visit Dickson County

    As spring finally approaches and we can finally come out of winter hibernation, we could all use a little weekend getaway. Dickson County, situated in the northeastern part of Tennessee, is the perfect place to spend the weekend while staying socially distanced. While it offers a wide variety of attractions and activities, you’ll really fall in love with the charming, small-town nature and Southern charisma. Exploring the town’s rich history, good eats, and shopping are a great way to kick off the spring.

    Here’s how to make the absolute most of 48 hours in Dickson County:
     

    DAY 1: 8am: Breakfast at House Blend

    Conveniently located downtown, this coffee shop makes a great cup of joe to-go, and its shelves full of fresh pastries are a serious bonus. Don’t miss out on House Blend’s signature frozen drink, the Monkey Mocha, a delightful blend of espresso with banana and chocolate. Pop in for your caffeine fix and a scone or a muffin before you begin your first day out on the town.
     

    9pm: Shopping in Historic Downtown Dickson

    Downtown Dickson has a great collection of local shops, including Buff City Soap, quickly becoming famous (and totally Insta-worthy!) for its walls of rainbow-colored soaps and brightly-hued bath bombs. At Home on Main is another great stop. This is a cute boutique with clothes, home décor, and much more to offer. For a great selection of quality men's shoes and clothing and more, check out Fussell's Mens Store, and for book lovers, Reading Rock Books has something for everyone to add to their reading pile.  Don't miss Three Times a Lady who carries many high quality national brands for every lady's needs.
     

    12pm: Lunch at House of Brews

    House of Brews has great burgers, sandwiches, and pizzas—something for everyone—and creative mixed drinks like the chipotle-pineapple margarita and the ginger old fashioned. The fried Oreos are a sweet punctuation to any meal.
     

    1pm: Visit the Museum and Try the Town Scavenger Hunt

    Clement Railroad Museum is dedicated to celebrating the life of Frank G. Clement, who was only 32 when he became governor of Tennessee. They’re offering a new game, the Dickson Hunt, which you can participate in any time the museum is open. In this real-life scavenger hunt, you’ll collect your clues at the museum and follow where they lead around Main Street as you learn more about Dickson’s rich history.
     

    5pm: Beer on Tap at One19 Craft Kitchen & Brewery

    Before you dig into dinner, check out One19 Craft Kitchen & Brewery and kick back with some of the area’s best locally brewed beers, including the “Puh-con” Porter (a pecan-forward sip you’ll swear by) and the Mayor Weiss, which is (you guessed it) named in honor of the city mayor of Dickson.
     

    6:30pm: Dinner at Lugo’s

    Walk over to Lugo’s for a tasty meal to warm your soul. This local favorite is right in Downtown Dickson and has a colorful menu featuring delicious dishes from pastas to shrimp and grits to homemade lamb meatballs. The plantain chips with cilantro lime dip are a must-try and an all-time favorite among regulars.
     

    DAY 2: 9am: Take a Walk around Historic Downtown Charlotte

    Start your second morning with a stroll through the charming streets of Downtown Charlotte, home to Tennessee’s oldest operating courthouse, built way back in 1804, among several other beautiful historic buildings and shops.
     

    10am: Check Out the Local Goods at Country View Market

    You could spend ages going through this local Mennonite market and all its homemade goods. From candies and old-school sorghums to original artwork and unique home décor, it’s a treasure trove of special items made with love. The people are friendly, the food is awesome, and the rocking chairs are oh-so-comfy!
     

    12pm: Lunch at Country View Market

    Luckily, the market makes food to order, as well. Grab lunch after you’re done perusing the endless homemade foods and crafts. The deli makes great sandwiches using farm fresh ingredients, cheese, and meats, and they have melt-in-your-mouth seasonal soft serve ice cream.
     

    3pm: Golf at Greystone or hike at Montgomery Bell State Park

    Burn off your lunch and post-lunch treats with some outdoor activities! Enjoy a round of golf on the rolling hills at Greystone Golf Club or go for a hike at Montgomery Bell State Park. The park has over 3,800 acres of pristine land, including three lakes where you can sunbathe on the shores or paddle a kayak through the waters and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
     

    6pm: Dinner at Catfish Kitchen

    This restaurant makes a statement as soon as you drive in the parking lot with the jumbo catfish on the sign out front.  Join them for all kinds of local favorites from catfish to frog legs to oysters.  The hometown atmosphere makes you feel welcome for your dinner and you won't leave hungry.
     

    7pm: Dessert at Sweet T’s Ice Cream & Food

    End your visit on a sweet note at Sweet T’s. They make homemade gelato, milkshakes, and all kinds of amazing things. For the cherry on top, they also have pinball and other fun family games for you to enjoy before you head home.
