Great Nature Trail Hiking
This Williamson County Park with multiple loop trails of various lengths is accessed via the Natchez Trace Parkway near the iconic Trace Bridge that spans TN 96 West — is a great place to enjoy nature and get a little education on tree’s names while you’re at it. Not much of the property is flat or level — the trails run along the tops of hillsides and ridges as well as crisscrossing the steep ravines. Trail markers are very visible — four different color blaze markers — sometimes overlapping. Benches for resting are placed throughout the park to help you catch your breath or just enjoy the sights. A Trail Office is staffed with helpful guides and maps as well as public restrooms. Park closes at 4pm during the winter months.

Beautiful Hike
It was a great hike with well marked and well maintained trails. We loved the friendly hosts and will return again. We enjoyed the quiet and serene forest. We had it all to ourselves, hiking two miles to explore the area and stretch our legs. The staff at the visitor center were very helpful in finding the owner of a friendly lost dog that happened to follow us out of the woods.

This park is worth a park!
This county park is well worth a stop! The park building has good facilities, including spotless bathrooms. The county employees manning the place are helpful, informative and genuinely friendly. They have interesting information about the area and old photos to give you a feel for days gone by. A beautiful fireplace with rocking chairs in front will be a nice break if you decide to do a hike and want a warm-up afterwards. It is also refreshingly air conditioned if you are there during hot weather.
