Confirmed from Percy Warner'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 6 mentions

“Beautiful park and places to play and hike with family and friends.”

🪧 well-marked 2 mentions

“Trails are well marked and enjoyable.”

About 7 miles of trails, popular with hikers and trail runners. Many pavilions to rent for gatherings. Plenty of fields and places to chill, and a few overlooks. One in particular is Luke Lea Overlook and offers a view of most of the city of Nashville.

★★★★★ — Michael , Mar 2019

Favorite park in Nashville by far. Fairly large with lots of variation in trails. On road trails, off road trails with lots of elevation change, flat XC style trails, mountain biking trails, it's got it all.

★★★★★ — Kevin , Sep 2020

One of the best (and largest) city parks in America. Paved roads for walking, running and biking. Rugged trails for running and hiking. Extensive mountain bike area. Even horse-riding trails.

★★★★★ — Bryan , Jul 2019

Would be 5 🌟 spot if they added water and bathrooms. Trails are well marked and enjoyable.

★★★★☆ — Kenneth , May 2018

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.
