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.
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.
Very nice trail for my wife on her disability scooter and me on my e bike.
Started at Johnson City trailhead. Trail descends toward Elizabethton resulting a climb back to Johnson City. The trail surface is crushed stone which is not smooth like hard-packed stone dust, so is a rough ride for road bikes.
Nicely maintained, very shady. Straight and little to no grade. Makes for a peaceful easy bike ride.
We rode the trail from Elizabethton starting in the late morning heading west. Road crossings in Elizabethton were a bit challenging, besides the fact that there are quite a few in a short distance, they come at sharp angles. Have your flashers on and watch the traffic carefully. The remainder of the trail to Johnson City was very nice. I look forward to riding the trail again in the future.
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.
A new mile and a quarter extension has been added to the trail with the
trailhead on Lenow Road. All Paved and crosses Macon Road three times. Beautiful trail making it more accessible to residents. They are currently redoing the mile markers. The parking lot could use some security cams as only moderate traffic passes by with no nearby residents. Cornfield on one side and The TVA on the other. I'm grateful to have it so close to my home.
amazing hike and great views with perfect place for swimming
Those green metal poles in the greenway that you would assume are solidly in place may not be...one was not secured into the ground and fell on to my son's foot and broke his toe.
Very peaceful trail with an occasional visit by deer & turkeys. A really peaceful walk.
