Confirmed from Chickasaw Trace Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Chickasaw Trace Park
“Please don't damage the area, clean up after yourself and we'll be able to enjoy this area for years to come.”
“There's beautiful rivers, streams, and lakes that I'm sure will be even more beautiful in the warmer months.”
“I have been multiple times, and each time it’s been a great family friendly, helpful atmosphere.”
I've spent years riding and helping maintain this beautiful trail! It's such a great deserve trail that gives such a unique experience, from fast flat sections to the EPIC climbs of the "trail of tears".
Great Park to hike, bike, kayak and even do RC car racing. With Columbia growing and getting developed so fast, I think this park will become the "happening spot" or the "go to" place for families to relax and exercise. Maury county is great for business and for family! Can't wait to see what future brings!
Awesome place to hike! And even better for MTB! There is a small "pump track" area with parking and a bathroom, and then trails all around the park. Some BIG obstacles with areas to go around if needed. Kids park, RC track, RC airfield and boat ramp for Duck River.
We were camping at David Crockett State Park and I drove over to ride the trails. What a Gem!!! A very nice park with pavilions and picnic tables, lots of green area. The single track is superb! A bit of everything from cruising long the river, then steep sections, then back down again.

“Wear proper shoes and watch out for tree roots or rocks.”
“There is a pump/skills track up the road beyond the trailhead, so don't load up your bike (like I did) until you give that a shot as well.”
“There are restrooms by the playground & mountain bike trail, but I don't remember seeing one over by the RC track.”
