Happy Wednesday, friends! With Wilson County Fall Break here, we are encouraging you to get outside and enjoy the gorgeous fall weather with some of our favorite local hikes and trails right here in our own backyard! π
Fall is honestly the BEST time to hit the trails, the leaves are changing, the temperatures are perfect, and being out in nature is one of the best things you can do for your mental and physical health!
Here are some of our favorite local trails to check out this fall break:
Cedar Creek Greenway, Mt Juliet:
A beautiful paved 10 foot wide path right here in Mount Juliet that runs alongside Cedar Creek. Perfect for families, strollers, and dogs! Easy and scenic, this one is a local favorite!
Long Hunter State Park, Hermitage:
One of the best spots near us! The J. Percy Priest Lake Loop via Day Loop Trail is a stunning 3.9 mile easy loop with breathtaking lake views.
Shutes Branch Recreation Area, Old Hickory:
Wilson county's hidden gem! An 8.2 mile trail system right off Old Hickory Lake with boat ramps and picnic facilities nearby. Great for a full day adventure with the family!
