Confirmed from Cumberland River Greenway'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 Cumberland River Greenway
One of the best public places that Metro Nashville ever set aside. I spent many hours walking this trail and never tired of it. Great views of the Cumberland River as well as the industrial section of Nashville, which is being rapidly gentrified.
When the trail is fully open and complete, the Greenway will be a great trail along the Cumberland river from the Ted Rhodes public golf course to the John Seighnthaler pedestrian bridge. a great trail with good views of the river.
