Confirmed from Percy Warner Hiking 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 5 mentions

“Really beautiful and helps you feel like you Aren't In Nashville.”

🪧 well-marked 4 mentions

“Trails are well marked and easy to follow.”

I stopped in while in town for a conference and the red trail (Deep Well Trailhead I believe) was fantastic! Good balance between incline and flat areas. It was exactly what I was looking for in a trail. Wish I had more time to explore the trails.

Awesome place to hike. I’ve been twice during the weekdays in the morning and it doesn’t seem to busy. The park and trails are well maintained, no liter to be seen. The white head trail is a 2.5mile loop that integrates with many other trails a few times through its course. All trails are well marked.

One of our favorite trails in Nashville!! Once you’ve climbed the Belle Meade Steps you can enter the trail.. It’s basically a 2.4 mile loop with lots of hills to climb and descend.. Very quiet on the trail and just a serene experience deep in the woods..

★★★★★ — Massbaum , Sep 2018

Love these trails! 2.5 and 5 mile loops. Trails are nice an cool on warmer days.

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.
