Murfreesboro's Stones River Trail

Columbus Day weekend ride

October, 2025 by rrsusaf

Our second ride was captivating with beautiful weather (first e-bike ride was Shiloh Military Park). We parked at Cannonsburgh Village and rode to the north trailhead (Thompson Lane Park) then back to the south trailhead (Barfield Crescent Park). Paved 10’ wide asphalt 95% excellent with some minor damage from underlying roots causing bumps and a few dips. More noticeable on trikes. We expected a crowded path for the weekend but pleasantly surprised with a few other bikers, joggers and dog walkers. The path crosses the river several times and progresses underneath most cross traffic highways. Restrooms available at the multiple parks and shorter trailheads. Overall we travelled just over 26 miles and though we’re feeling it today,, the overall beauty made the ride worth it. Only con were the occasional homeless encampments at the beginning of our ride.

Mountain Goat Trail

trail is completely paved now

August, 2025 by ms76qhkgpx

The trail from Sewanee to Tracy City is all asphalt now which is about 12.5 miles. The only caveat is you must ride in the bike lane on the highway that goes over I-24. If you’re coming from Sewanee look for College Street that runs parallel to the highway after you cross the bridge. It basically dead ends into the trail. Beautiful trail, about 70% shaded, inclines are very modest.

Murfreesboro's Stones River Trail

First cool day in August 2025

August, 2025 by fqthewench711

Dropped in at Barfield Road trailhead and headed up, 15.3 miles out and back on a beautiful summer day. Cicadas were loud and the birds were singing! Our first time on the trail after reading all the reviews and we loved it! Every city in America should be made to put in one of these to this caliber. Murfreesboro should be proud! Lots of people enjoying this day.

Aldridge Creek Greenway

Update: connector completed

They have built a very nice bike path that connects the middle and the southern sections along Bailey Cove Road. There are also lights at the crosswalks. Thanks!!

Tennessee River Greenway

Walk north along gravel road

April, 2025 by askrens

From the Kingston Pavilion at Ditto Landing, cross the bridge and walk north along the river. Also suitable for gravel or mountain bikes. About 60% shaded. Beautiful walk.

Decatur Trail

Mallard Point was the only saving grace

April, 2025 by askrens

The majority of this trail was extremely disappointing. I think TrailLink needs to go back and reevaluate a large section of this trail. A narrow sidewalk that runs along a busy street, for several miles, does not constitute a bike or walking path. Mallard Point was beautiful in mid April. That said, the large waterpark was not open. I would not come here during the summer because it’s probably total chaos. The large parking lots have the clear signs no RVs and no campers allowed.

Swan Creek Greenway

Wonderful greenway!

April, 2025 by askrens

The trail was nearly immaculate -- hats off to the citizens of Athens. Beautiful path that followed Swan Creek almost the entire way. People, dogs, bikes, strollers... all kind and thoughtful.

Richard Martin Trail

Beautiful ride for a spring day

April, 2025 by askrens

I started at the south trailhead and did an out and back for a total of 22 miles. The southern half of the trail is definitely in better condition, but my gravel bike did fine on everything. Rapeseed was blooming,as were the red buckeyes. saw several other cyclist and two groups on horseback. Wonderful to see people out on such a beautiful day.

Murfreesboro's Stones River Trail

construction is complete

March, 2025 by craigsmith3249

The construction south of I-24 is done. You can now get all the way south to Barfield Park.

Mountain Goat Trail

connecting

March, 2025 by myiggi

Is the trail a continuation or is it broken up on the other side of the interstate?

Tennessee River Greenway

very scenic, light traffic

October, 2024 by bbraden

only thing keeping it from 5* is length. Parallels river 90%, light traffic. Surface is nothing fancy but in good condition.
