Outdoor Activities

Herb Parsons Lake State Park

A nice fishing and recreation lake is located along the eastern boundary of the Piperton Reserve area designated for future annexation. Visitors can enjoy fishing, boat and pontoon rentals, picnicking, and hiking around the 177 acre lake. There is a boat-launching ramp, fishing piers, picnic tables, an archery range, and a little store where you can purchase food, fishing supplies, bait and tackle and even a fishing license.

Wolf River Kayak & Canoe trips

The Ghost River State Natural Area is located only a few miles to the east of Piperton where visitors can take canoe and kayak day trips and shorter excursions along the Wolf River. For more information go to the Wolf River Conservancy website.

Heartwood Hall Historic Home

A renovated 1840 home with a rich history of being used as a hospital for union soldiers during the Civil War is available as a venue for weddings, retirement parties, corporate events, and other gatherings. The house has been listed as "the Miller House" on the National Historic Register. The home is located on a 25 acre site that was once part of a 5000 acre plantation estate. More information can be found on their website.

Hiking along the Wolf River

Piperton has endorsed the regional GreenPrint project that includes a goal of connecting communities along the Wolf River all the way from the Mississippi River into Fayette County. There are already miles of hiking and biking trails along the River west of Piperton in the communities of Collierville and Germantown and future plans to extend the trails along the Wolf River through Piperton. This will be a long term project, but planning has already begun to lay out a proposed route and find the necessary funding.

Hunting in Wildlife Management Area

A wide area running across the middle of the incorporated City Limits and along the Wolf River is designated as the "Piperton Wetlands Complex" and is part of the Tennessee Region 1 Wildlife Management Area administered by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. For information on hunting and fishing in the area check with the TWRA website.
