Wilhoite Mill Trail - Henry Horton State Park
Wilhoite Mill Trail - Henry Horton State Park
Chapel Hill, Tennessee, United States (39.8 miles away)
0.7 mile trail near Chapel Hill, Tennessee

This is the shortest trail at Henry Horton. There are some really nice views of the Duck River on this trail -- definitely worth seeing. Also, there are many old artifacts of the Mill still in this area that are visible in the water. Worth checking out!! If you're interested in adding on mileage to this trail, the River Trail continues on 1.5 miles...

Percy Warner Park - Mossy Ridge Trail (red)
by latitude11 on Apr 17, 2011
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Hiking | 4.4 miles (8.9 miles away)
The Mossy Ridge Trail at Percy Warner is probably more commonly known as the 'red trail' by locals for the red blazes that mark this path. At 4.5 mile-ish, it's the longest trail in the Warner Park system and one of the busiest. The trail boasts plenty of hills, lots of variety, a water feature, a chimney, and several road and bridle path crossings. Definitely plenty to keep you busy for the...

Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Hiking | 2.8 miles (7.2 miles away)
I do. I get excited by the small things. And while the re-opening of a trail that has been closed for 11 months is no teeny-tiny small thing, it's probably a blip that went unnoticed in the radar of most Nashville folks. Needless to say: I'm SO excited that the trail is open!We started from the Nature Center (the Granny White Pike side of the park) which is where I typically prefer...

Radnor Lake - Lake Trail + Garnier Ridge
by latitude11 on Mar 16, 2011
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Hiking | 3.8 miles (7.3 miles away)
The title of this trip really is: "When I'm angry, I walk fast."18:31 pace for just over an hour to cover 3.78 miles with 1000 ft elevation gain/loss. I'd really meant this trip to capture the Lake Trail and the Garnier Ridge Trail. The first mile is on the road and technically part of the Lake Trail. The Ridge lasts between miles 1 and 3, and the last .78 is the Lake Trail...

Radnor Lake - Ganier Ridge, Lake Trail, South Lake Trail
by CarlNelson on Oct 02, 2011
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Hiking | 5.2 miles (7.5 miles away)
Radnor Lake is one of the more popular outdoor areas in Nashville.  It's easily accessible and offers some of the best hiking in the area with a variety of trails for all abilities and ages.I took my two boys (5 and 9) on a lovely fall morning.  We started in the east parking lot and followed the access trail to the Ganier Ridge junction, and headed northeast on it.  The climb up...

Pinnacle Trail - Hamilton Creek Park
by CarlNelson on Oct 07, 2011
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Hiking | 6.5 miles (9.5 miles away)
As I was hiking this trail, I kept thinking to myself that I can't wait to see the GPS track.  I don't think I've been on as convoluted a trail before--it definitely makes optimal use of the space available!The trail is easy to follow.  The path never crosses itself; it merely passes nearby (obviously within the +/- of my GPS).  Be prepared for a lot of elevation change and back-and-forth.This is really...

Mossy Ridge Trail - Percy Warner Park
by CarlNelson on Nov 06, 2011
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Hiking | 5.1 miles (8.1 miles away)
Mossy Ridge (the "red trail" to frequent Warner Parks hikers) is the most challenging in the park, and is extremely popular especially on a day that proved to be the last really good day of fall colors and nice weather of the year.  The Deep Well trailhead is frequently quite crowded on the weekends, and maneuvering to a parking space can take a stroke of luck.  The trailhead is shared with the...

Volunteer Day Loop - Long Hunter State Park
by CarlNelson on Sep 30, 2011
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Hiking | 4.2 miles (13.6 miles away)
The Volunteer Day Loop is part of Long Hunter State Park.  In addition to the loop, a camping area can be reached from this trail.  The trail winds through wooded areas and along the lakeshore.  It's a pleasant and rewarding hike featuring great views of Percy Priest Lake.The spur part of the trail leads from the trailhead through relatively flat terrain until it reaches the lakeshore.  From there, I took the north...

Highland Trail - Beaman Park
by CarlNelson on Oct 23, 2011
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Hiking | 4.3 miles (9.8 miles away)
Beautiful ridgeline hike through the secluded woods of Beaman Park.  The trail begins at Beaman's higher trailhead, which basically starts at the ridgeline level.  The entire trail is forested.  The trail is well-signed and well-blazed.  The Highland Trail intersects and briefly joins the Henry Hollow Loop.  There is a brief split in the trail early on (do both sides).  The gullies and dropoffs are impressive, and catching the last of the fall...

Lakeside Trail - Hamilton Creek Park
by CarlNelson on Oct 25, 2011
Priest Lake Park, Tennessee, United States
Hiking | 4.6 miles (9.9 miles away)
I did the two halves and connector trail in a figure 8 to cover everything.  Like its Hamilton Creek Park counterpart, the Pinnacle Trail, this one weaves in and around itself repeatedly.  The northern half of the loop is more level than the southern, but the lake views are on the longer southern portion.  Rocks abound on the trail.  This isn't a trail to take without hiking boots.  The trail is marked...

Mill Creek Greenway
by CarlNelson on Oct 26, 2011
Antioch, Tennessee, United States
Hiking | 2.6 miles (9.8 miles away)
This paved, wide trail overcomes its nearness to noisy and busy I-24 with good creek views and lots of trees.  The loop portion in the south circles several school and municipal buildings, and the northern there-and-back part parallels Mill Creek through fairly thick vegetation.  Multiple bridges add interest.  The northern portion ends rather abruptly, and I believe it's in the city's greenway plans to extend this to Ezell Park, which will be...

Couchville Cedar Glade
by CarlNelson on Oct 05, 2011
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Hiking | 0.9 miles (14.9 miles away)
This pleasant, short loop winds through limestone gravel areas and cedar glades.  The parking area is rather small but the trail probably won't be crowded at all.  A short out-and-back leads to the loop portion.  The loop winds around a large glade and over a few washes that will most likely be full after a good rain, but were dry when I took it.

Anderson Road Fitness Trail
by CarlNelson on Oct 26, 2011
Priest Lake Park, Tennessee, United States
Hiking | 1.5 miles (10.9 miles away)
Mostly-paved, easy fitness trail with good views of Percy Priest Lake.  The northwest corner of the trail allows following either the paved main portion or a gravel portion closer to the lakeshore.  There is an interesting old well on the northern portion of the trail.  I took a path through the woods at the southeast corner that wound up looping back to the road.  Follow the service road back to the parking...

Radnor Lake Natural Area - South Lake Trail

Brentwood, Tennessee, United States
Hiking | 1.5 miles (7.3 miles away)
Great family hike. Spring wildflowers just starting to bloom (Dentaria - toothwort; Claytonia - spring beauty). Trillium in bud, but not yet open. Canada geese, mallards, and hooded mergansers (I think).
