Lost River's namesake cave, nearby amenities and community culture
Lost River shares its name with Lost River Cave — a popular Bowling Green tourist attraction. However, the cave and its associated park are just one amenity that makes up the Lost River Area. “Just to focus on the cave, you can’t really enjoy Bowling Green,” says Realtor Steven Arndell with Keller Williams First Choice Realty. Other parks, local restaurants and one of the newer schools in the school district serve this part of Bowling Green, while its location along the Interstate and Nashville Road means residents can easily get to other parts of the city. Close to home, Lost River offers residential streets where people can make friends and become part of the community. “People are out walking their dogs, or their kids are out playing,” Arndell says. “All the neighbors get to know each other personally that way.”
Lost River Cave for tourists and Bowling Green parks for locals
Lost River Cave is actually more than just the cave. The park stretches across 72 acres of southern Bowling Green, where wooded trails wind along the river and the limestone pools. Walking and boat tours regularly go into the cave itself, where guides point out the unique stone shapes and the cave’s role in local history. However, Arndell highlights that Lost River Cave is more of a tourist attraction, and that locals are more likely to be spotted at nearby parks, unless family and friends from out of town are visiting.
Preston Miller Park’s 53 acres are within walking distance of Lost River homes. The park offers a disc golf course, playground, basketball court and four soccer fields. In the summer, people head to the Russell Sims Aquatic Center here to cool off and play in the pool, water buckets and water slides. Lampkin Park features a mix of tennis, basketball and futsol courts and five baseball fields.
Three subdivisions offer bungalows and ranch-style homes
Lost River is a collection of three subdivisions — Park Hill, Moss Creek and Whispering Hills. Park Hill feels open, with younger trees away from the street and simple small buses along driveways and front facades. Whispering Hills’s streets have a more winding feel to them, paired with longer driveways setting homes farther away from the street. Moss Creek is the only subdivision with sidewalks, and yards are more minimalist here, without lots of personalization. All three subdivisions offer bungalows and ranch-style homes ranging from $220,000 to $310,000.
Nearby public schools and their athletic achievements
Jennings Creek Elementary School and Henry F. Moss Middle School both receive C-plus ratings from Niche. Warren Central High School receives a B-minus. “It’s the newest high school in the town,” Arndell says. “People like the football team and the cheerleading team and extracurriculars.” It’s boys’ basketball and soccer teams won their state championships for the 2022-2023 school year.
Diverse local restaurants and chain dining options
Shogun Bistro is a hibachi grill and sushi bar with big windows giving it an open feel. El Mazatlán Bar and Grill offers Mexican fare and an outdoor patio shaded by colorful umbrellas. Even though it’s a chain, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen is a popular spot for American. The Walmart Supercenter is under 2 miles away, while the Kroger is under 3 miles from Lost River.
Driving to downtown Bowling Green and nearby employers
Downtown Bowling Green is about 5 miles north of Lost River, connected by Nashville Road and U.S. Route 68. Interstate 165 runs along the southern side of the neighborhood. TriStar Greenview Regional Hospital is about 4 miles away. Bowling Green doesn’t have its own airport, so people can instead head to Nashville International Airport, about 70 miles south.
Most of Lost River’s residential streets are north of Route 68, while the southern part is mostly industrial. This space is home to manufacturing plants and industrial parks for companies like Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Country Oven Bakery and NASCO.
Annual and seasonal Bowling Green citywide events
Beech Bend Raceway and racing events are another big part of Bowling Green’s overall culture. The Annual Buick GS Nationals is just one of many, though this one has run for almost 45 years for a week every mid-May. In addition to the races, there are also car shows. On Fridays from June to September, Circus Square Park in downtown Bowling Green hosts the Concerts in the Park Series. The series is free and features different food trucks each week. “1000-Mile Yard Sale takes place in the summertime along Russellville Road,” Arndell says. “People always go to the garage sales to thrift. That’s a big part of the community too.”
