ABOUT CHEATHAM COUNTY Cheatham County is considered by many as Middle Tennessee’s best-kept secret — a quiet county of small towns along the Cumberland and Harpeth rivers, unscathed by the rapid development that’s engulfed Nashville and other surrounding areas in recent decades. The county benefits from good access to transportation — it’s bordered to the north by Interstate 24 and to the south by Interstate 40. Highway 12, which runs through downtown Ashland City, provides accessibility to both Clarksville and Nashville. The county was founded Feb. 28, 1856, when the Tennessee General Assembly designated the 50 acres of land to the west of Nashville and north of the Cumberland River as Cheatham County. It was named after Speaker of the State Senate, Edward Saunders Cheatham. The county is home to four incorporated municipalities — Ashland City, Kingston Springs, Pegram and Pleasant View. Nearly 40,000 people call the county home.

KINGSTON SPRINGS K
ingston Springs is located off Interstate 40 in south Cheatham County. Before the advent of the automobile in the early 1900s, Kingston Springs was a famous resort spot. In the mid-1800s, Kingston Springs had mineral springs that produced white, black and red sulphur water. A large inn or tavern was built in 1819 near the springs to serve those taking advantage of their healing qualities. In 1860, the railroad was extended from Nashville to Kingston Springs, and then in 1862 the railroad was extended from Kingston Springs to Waverly, causing a huge population growth within the community. Kingston Springs was incorporated in 1965. Today, 2,756 people call the town home. The town is headed by mayor John McLeroy, vice mayor Tony Campbell and commissioners Gary Corlew, Pam Lorenz and Craig Kitch. A full-time manager, Laurie Cooper, oversees the town’s daily operations.

HARPETH RIVER STATE PARK
This unique linear park located along the Harpeth River in South Cheatham County offers natural, cultural and recreational day use areas rich in historic significance and natural beauty. Canoe access areas are located at all sites (excluding archeological areas) providing beginner and advanced paddlers opportunities to float this beautiful class II river. Bring your own canoe or kayak or call local commercial outfitters for trip information and boat rentals. Whether you enjoy the thrill of fly-fishing or spin casting, the river hosts large and small mouth bass, bream, crappie, bluegill, channel catfish and other game fish. At the Narrows of the Harpeth, three trails originate at a common trailhead near the park entrance. A two-mile bluff overlook trail includes a steep ascent to a narrow bluff offering hikers a panoramic view of the Harpeth Valley. A half-mile trail along the backside of the limestone bluff leads to the site of Montgomery Bell's Pattison Forge where a small waterfall is all that remains of the iron forge operation. In addition, guided tours of Mound Bottom are offered by reservation. Mound Bottom is a 1,000-year-old earthenworks left behind by a mighty civilization that once thrived along the Harpeth River. For program reservation information, call 797-6096.

CHEATHAM WILDLIFE
MANAGEMENT AREA The 20,810-acre Cheatham Wildlife Management Area offers something for everyone — hunting, biking, birding and other activities that put wildlife first. The property is owned by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and is managed primarily for deer, but it also provides good squirrel, quail, turkey and raccoon hunting. The CWMA offers the only public range in Cheatham County. Area residents can enjoy duck hunting with 37 duck blinds in the wildlife area. The annual duck blind drawing is the first Saturday in August. The duck blinds are on Cheatham Lake WMA.
The CWMA, which was established in 1939, also offers hunter camping in a designated camping area near the headquarters. Horseback riding is allowed on roads open to vehicles. From Ashland City, take Highway 49 toward Charlotte. Cross the Cumberland River and continue four miles to Highway 250. Turn left onto Highway 250 and go four miles to the WMA entrance, which is on your left. The check station is three miles from the entrance and maps are outside the check station. For more information, call 792-4510.
Hunting is a favorite activity for many in Cheatham County, and the Cheatham Wildlife Management Area in the Petway community offers something for everyone. TIM ADKINS/THE TIMES
