Exactly halfway between Memphis and Nashville, along the I-40, the town of Lexington hosts almost 8,000 residents 111 miles from either city. With the Milan Arsenal a few miles northwest, many residents of an apartment or home rental in Lexington will make the short trip to Milan daily. However, the majority of residents will make the 2-hour drive to either Memphis or Nashville where higher-ranking and more prestigious jobs are more readily available. The Franklin Wilkins Airport provides essential service to the community although commercial flights have seized to serve the town. A special feature of Lexington is the Beech Lake Family Camping Resort, available to residents for a nominal fee.
Natchez Trace State Park, a few miles north, provides an endless range of possibilities for natural exploration, camping, and other recreational activities in the wilderness. Pin Oak Lake, on the edge of the park, is a popular hangout during the hot summer months where residents of a Lexington house or apartment for rent congregate to wade in the cool lake waters and participate in a variety of water activities. Cedar Lake, Beech Lake, and Redbud Lake, also nearby, are equal alternatives. For more traditional recreation, the Guy B. Amis City Park provides conventional activities such as community league baseball and soccer as well as fitness centers and bike paths. Pine Tree Country Club, in the southern portion of Lexington, is the region’s leading golf course.
