Confirmed from Cumberland River Greenway Metro Center Levee'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.
Dog-friendly park with paved trails and scenic views along the Cumberland River.

Great park along the river, especially if you are going biking or running. It’s a nice 2-3 mile stretch that is pretty flat and with a great view
Nice location.... the trail is so awesome... close to the river and clean place... Need to explore more during summer...
I will tell you both good and bad points. Good things first, amazing views of the river+ lakes in between, can catch some sheep, ducks, rabbits, and many birds and small animals on the way. Mornings are good and so are evenings. Silent, serene and picturesque with the mountain view in some areas.
Peaceful, accessible, well-maintained- this is a great spot for a walk without having to leave the city. I only walked a short stretch of this, but I’m looking forward to walking further down the trail.
