Richard Martin Trail

Nice trail

October, 2024 by jlp1171

Good trail to ride shaded and lots of nature this trail is gravel. We will definitely do this one again

Harpeth River Greenway

Easy, Flat Trails

October, 2024 by let3322

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.

Harpeth River Greenway

peaceful, serene and not too crowded

October, 2024 by covenantdga

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

Stones River Greenway

The Board Walk Closed indefinitely

September, 2024 by tncanuck

All of us are wondering why the City is taking so very long to open the Board Walk Section. People are climbing the fence and using it now. I called and Metro said it is unsafe, yet they have abandoned working on it for us all to use. They finished the Clover Bottom area to the TSB, but they are not working at all on the Board Walk. All of us are truly saddened that Metro is just to busy to handle the work over here for us.

Mountain Goat Trail

Road It 30 miles

August, 2024 by rx94p4h8xz

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.

Mountain Goat Trail

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

Mountain Goat Trail

Gorgeous trail

June, 2024 by trishwomack514

This is a beautiful well maintained easy shaded and paved trail between 2 unique and gorgeous eclectic towns. Both towns have so much to offer in way of cute restaurants, shops and architecture. Highly recommend. First outing on our new bikes and couldn’t have picked a more perfect trail.

Murfreesboro's Stones River Trail

Nice Ride

June, 2024 by gregorywallace62_tl

Construction still in progress so cannot ride complete from one trail head. Overall though was a beautiful, well maintained greenway.

Richard Martin Trail

The north end has a historic b&b. Elkmont in 1/2 way with nice places and a nice side ride through pre civil war houses. Packed gravel. Could use some smoothing but we did 21 mile out and back on ebikes with no problem. All shady

Murfreesboro's Stones River Trail

lovely ride

April, 2024 by lb33558

Rode to the north trailhead and just south to i24 where the trail is now under construction. Nice amount of traffic and we even saw some wild turkeys. Would come again if ever I pass through Murfreesboro again.

Brentwood Parks Trail System

Markings for trail not there. We just looped the park. More signs are needed.

Richland Creek Greenway

Bad for inline skating / rollerblading

September, 2023 by vanantwj

This trail is listed as good for in-line skating, but a large section of the trail is very rough / old pavement, and much of the rest of it has long hills and sharp turns.
