Rode the trail on Christmas Eve 2025 and it was an absolute great ride. The ride did come with a few detours due to some building on the upper side of downtown but quickly turned into a really wide open beautiful view of the Cumberland River. As with any great city, Nashville has its challenges with a few unsightly images on this trail due to bad decisions of people and government the same I did, however notice a lot of work being done to maintain the trail with trimming trees and keeping the trail safe with signs and lighting. Overall, I gave this four out of five stars and enjoyed all of the things I got to see, including downtown Nashville, passing by an old Fort, lots of old buildings and history, the baseball stadium,and the beautiful scenic views of the Cumberland River.
Just read a bridge is closed on greenway. Wish somehow this app was able to show updates on its trail map.
Paved, Gravel, Rocks, Sharp corners, lots of trees down, we had e-bikes which where trek bikes, I wouldn’t recommend trikes to not enough room for them to get over in the woods. We couldn’t get around a big fallen tree on the first part of the trail so we back tracked and went back to the truck and went to the end and started. We did get in 25 miles total.
The trail is fair for a greenway trail. Not all that scenic, but if you are looking for a quick short ride ( about 6 miles), this may work. However note that the bridge is currently washed out cutting off the last mile or so of the trail.
I absolutely loved this trail. But the Southern trailhead actually starts north of the where trail link has it on the map — it’s on US 62 by the covered bridge. Hopefully this will get corrected soon. Otherwise a really fabulous trail.
Really enjoyed. I learned that the local public library will check out bikes for a dollar to its patrons. I just love that.
Very scenic ride along the Cumberland River. The best time to ride it to view the river is in the Spring and Fall when the trees are bare. The course is relatively flat and easy. I would recommend that you ride a mountain or hybrid bike. There are several exposed roots, so shocks are preferred but certainly not required. The section at the end of Eagle pass is closed so you can no longer ride to the Cheatham Dam.
Overall, it is a nice experience.
2.5-mile paved hike/bike trail has been established on the former right-of-way from downtown Cadi, KY. A great place to spend a couple of hours hiking or for a quick bike trip down a 110-year-old rail corridor. Part of the trail was closed near the park as 10/27/24.
Mostly flat and partly shady. Concrete. One long bridge with steep grade at each end. Phases 1 and 2 complete. Lots of benches, security cameras/emergency alerts.
We went on a weekday and there were not many people on the trail which made it very pleasant and enjoyable. The trail is very well maintained with flat surfaces. This is a wonderful scenic trail with a few bridges over running creeks, plenty of tree lined portions and a wildlife center along the way. We parked at the Harpeth Valley Golf course and started from there as the soccer field parking lot was closed that day. Lovely experience for all ages and levels.
Have ridden most of the greenway trails in and around Nashville and the Harpeth River Greenway is one of my favorites. Can start your ride at either end (Bellevue or at Edwin Warner Park). Not too crowded except, as expected at the beginning of the trail but it thins out the further you get away from the parking lots. Of course on beautiful sunny fall or spring days, particularly on the weekends, you will find dodging walkers and runners, but that is expected on most greenway trails in and around Nashville. At a more advance age with mobility issues, I like the fact that the trail is flat and mostly covered, except for the portion on the west side of the trail. But in my younger years you could get your heartbeat up by deviating into either Percy of Edwin Warner Pasks
