Natural Nashville: A Guide to the Greenways and Nature Parks

Beneath the veneer of "Music City, USA" and "The Athens of the South" that each year draws more than 10 million visitors, there is a stunningly beautiful natural landscape enjoyed by locals and outsiders alike. Nashville's 533 square miles include such varied areas as steep forested ridges, deep rich woods, soggy river bottoms, grassy meadows, and rocky mini-deserts.

Much of this heterogeneous landscape is preserved in an ever-expanding award-winning network of greenways and parks. Natural Nashville explores them all.

Whether you like to walk, run, hike, bicycle, canoe, bird watch, or just enjoy quiet time outdoors, this guide tells you where to go and what you will find when you get there.
