Where to fly a drone in Nashville
Nashville in short
Metro Nashville Parks bans drones in its parks except at three permitted flying fields: Edwin Warner, Cane Ridge and Peeler Park. The Army Corps of Engineers also designates drone areas on Old Hickory Lake, like Sanders Ferry Park and Nat Caldwell Park. Parts of the city sit inside Nashville International's Class C airspace, where you need LAANC.
