The Murfreesboro Greenway System consists of 17-plus miles of trails, bridges and boardwalks for enjoying Murfreesboro's beautiful natural setting. Sixteen trailheads along the seven greenway sections provide access for hiking, walking, running, wading, bicycling, skating, nature photography, picnicking, birdwatching, fishing and other outdoor activities for individuals of all abilities. Greenway Sections are designated as North Murfreesboro Greenway, Stones River Trail, Lytle Creek Trail, Fortress Rosecrans Loop Trail, Murfree Spring Trail, West College Street Spur Trail and Gateway Island Trail.
Three small watercraft launch points, two on the West Fork Stones River and one on the East Fork Stones River, provide access to the Stones River for paddlers.
Two bark parks allow off-leash exercise for canine pals. Those two, engaging areas are called Cason Bark Park and General Bragg Bark Park.
All Greenway trailheads open at daylight and close one-half hour before sunset daily year-round. Central Valley Trailhead has a horse trail access.
The Murfreesboro Greenway System connects historical sites, parks, neighborhoods and businesses, serving as a conservation corridor to preserve natural and cultural resources. It's for pedestrian and non-motorized vehicle use only.
