Confirmed from Peeler Park Greenway 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.
Vistas of the Cumberland River are a highlight at this park with miles of paved paths for bikes, deer, and other wildlife.

“Well-maintained, easily-walked paved trails along bottom land of the Cumberland River.”

“Even though I wasn't able to see it all, the parking lot and boat ramp were peaceful and the deer walked around like no one was even there.”
Little slice of the country nestled at the end of Neelys Bend. Greenway is in good shape and suitable for walking, jogging or biking. You are likely to encounter deer, wild turkeys, lots of birds, and occasionally snakes.
A quiet park for walking and cycling tucked away by the Cumberland River. If you can arrange your visit, as we did, to coincide with Metro Police and Nashville Fire Dept. fishing a floater out of the river at the boat ramp, it's a real treat.
Well-maintained, easily-walked paved trails along bottom land of the Cumberland River. The main loop is great for biking, walking, or jogging.
Usually empty, have never seen more than a handful of other people on the trails here. A great place to walk the dog.
