Confirmed from Searcy 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.
Greenway featuring waterfalls, an old hydro dam and a boat ramp.
What runners say about Searcy Trailhead
“Right in the heart of the city but you can get your miles in easily and in a beautiful setting!”
This trail is SO PRETTY. I often find myself going there to read whatever book I have that day by the waterfalls (Which are only a 30 second-1 1/2 minute walk from your car) and practice my photography as it is quite relaxing.
Beautiful Instantly! Not 1 minute walk on trail, there's a beautiful opening with mini waterfalls. Multiple trails leading to the perfect (drop-a-line) and see if you catch. Serene Nature! With arriving 30 min before dark, that's as far down the trail I went.
This place been on my google maps for 5 years. Beautiful area and great greenway to get in some outdoor time in your work week. A couple ladies I met said you can link up the the other trailheads and easily do 5 miles on a bike ride. Look forward to doing this again.
Beautiful day at the trail head! If you want to get out of the house, this is a great place to go. I highly recommend. Nice trails here on concrete. We find ourselves going multiple times a week since being here in Murfreesboro. I am from TX so we don’t know a whole lot of places here. We love the outdoors though.
