When I was skating this trail back in 2003 the vegetation was very low on the inland side which made for great viewing of birds and insects. There was a real feeling of being in an open space. Now the plants are way over my head and frankly I felt hemmed in. The length is great for getting a workout... no laps necessary. Lovely view of the river from the pedestrian bridge.

This is a flat, paved 5mi trail that runs along the Cumberland river. Nice outing with the family, or a leisurely day for you. Park at the Shelby Bottoms nature center at one end, or the 3 Rivers water park at the other, and take the new bridge over the Cumberland. You can extend your trip west on city streets into Nashville downtown, or east to the 3 rivers trail to Percy Priest dam (a workout).

The Shelby Bottoms Trail now continues with the Stones River Greeenway. Best trailhead is off the Two Rivers Parkway at the Wave Country pool. Complete trail is approximately 14 miles. I rode it over the qweekend and the trail is great. Kudos to Nashville for maikng this trail!
