Confirmed from Old Fort Park Trailhead, Murfreesboro Greenway System'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“Despite the construction, it’s the most beautiful part of Murfreesboro!”

Absolutely gorgeous place to visit! The trails are paved and enjoyable!

★★★★★ — Brandon , Mar 2025

This is my favorite place to park when I go to the Stones River greenway. There is a nice bathroom their picnic areas tables. And it is in the middle of the system thereabouts, and a nice place to park to go one way.

★★★★★ — Bob , Sep 2024

Beautiful trails, not very busy. Plenty of shade as to not get overheated. A little busy depending on the time of day.

★★★★★ — M , Dec 2025

Best park in middle tn . You choose how long you want to hike walk. And love the wildflowers

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.
