Park by the outdoor barn or the farm center on the map. There’s a dog park nearby. The quarry has beautiful views and is worth the hike.
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.
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.
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.
We rode the entire pathway, starting at the northern dam site. This is one of the most enjoyable, varied, and well maintained routes we've ridden! The entire route is well done, with light poles the entire way, elevated sections or bridges thru all types of natural areas (instead of around), and many parks or trailside restrooms. Whether thru parks, alongside the highway, or even past industrial businesses, the trail is landscaped O meadow-scaped), the path is smooth, and
Today 4-17-2025 my husband and I rode the trail from the Wheland Factory parking lot to the Dam. The first part of the trail goes past some industrial areas. As we got further up it goes past townhomes and downtown. Our only complaint was the lack of trail signage to keep you on tract and mileage markers. There were some metal cutouts with numbers indicating the miles and some very small markers in the concrete itself with markings but unless you stopped to read them, there was no way you could have read them as you pedaled by. The trail itself is in good shape and we saw several crews keeping the grounds surrounding the trail trimmed.
The construction south of I-24 is done. You can now get all the way south to Barfield Park.
Is the trail a continuation or is it broken up on the other side of the interstate?
Trail is now 12 miles. Signs stating they are looking to expand to 40 miles in the future. Took some time in Sewanee College. Beautiful building there. Will definitely visit again.
This trail is now over 10 miles long and makes for a great ride. More shade than sun, gently sloped and well maintained. Use this trail often and continue to see new things. Paul and Gayle
We’ve hiked this trail many times. It’s NOT a bike trail and we’ve never seen anyone try. We like this trail in all seasons. It’s well marked and in the wetter season the waterfall is beautiful. The loop trail has a great spot to view the rolling hills. Excellent parking and primitive camping if it interests you. Rated easy but a short section is close to moderate.
