Confirmed from Old Hickory Trail'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 Old Hickory Trail
Cold, clear, crisp on the trail with color and bird song. Lovely hike.
Just a really nice place for walk in woods. Wheelchair accessible on main entry path all way down to an overlook.
Decent little secluded trail. Perfect if you’re looking for a quick walk.
