Welcome to OUTdoors Nashville - the Middle Tennessee LGBTQ adventuring club. Join us for hiking, backpacking, and camping through our local great large backyard.
OUTdoors Nashville is a judge-free Meetup open to all backgrounds, ages, and experience levels. Even though we are primarily a gay men's group, people of all identities, friends and allies are always welcome! If you own a four-legged friend that you would like to bring along feel free, provided they are on a leash, play good with others, and permitted based on location (not otherwise noted in the event’s description).
Adventuring with us starts with you, and probably the most stimulating part about our collective is that our outings are just as diverse as our members. Whether it’s leisurely day hikes around town, car camping at a state park, or multi-night backpacks in the mountains we compete to maintain an active year-round calendar. As always, if you have an idea for an event feel free to create a suggestion or contact us by email.
Thank you for your interest in joining! We look forward to meeting you, and hope to see you at our next OUTing!
