Outdoor Recreation

Clarksville was founded along the Cumberland River, and the waterways remain the heart of the community today. Some 650 miles of navigable waterways (including the Cumberland and Red Rivers and their many branch creeks and streams) make Clarksville a regional go-to for water sports like boating, fishing, skiing, kayaking and canoeing. Our relatively mild climate makes many outdoor activities like golf, hiking, rock climbing, hunting, and road and trail biking popular and enjoyable year-round. Opt outside, we're the ideal place to unplug and reconnect with nature and each other.
