Confirmed from Mill Creek Greenway - Old Hickory Trailhead'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.

🏃 great for running 2 mentions

“Definitely a great place for walking or running.”

Beautiful, easy loop. Highly recommend. Very dog friendly. Please pick up their poop.

★★★★★ — Tara , Oct 2020

Beautiful little trail! There are three trail heads to choose from (North, South and Middle), that have small parking lots. The trail weaves behind residential neighborhoods with a good green buffer between the trail and people's homes. The trail follows Mill Creek and has some nice bridges cross the water.

★★★★★ — Cory , Sep 2021

I ran/walked a 5k here last year, and I've been visiting when I have the time, it has some beautiful paved trails! Definitely a great place for walking or running.

★★★★★ — Ariel , Jul 2025

Very green and scenic, not too busy but not too empty either. It’s a favorite for our family. There are deer who like to walk through these woods and some resident beavers in Mill Creek. Several benches to chill by the water too.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
