Boiling Springs Mounds

Embark on the Brenthaven Bikeway Connector Trail, an easy hiking route that guides you through shaded forests on paved paths. You will enjoy tranquil views along the Little Harpeth River, encountering unique tunnels and catching glimpses of the historic Ravenswood Mansion. This pleasant journey covers 4.5 miles (7.2 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 158 feet (48 metres), taking approximately 1 hour and 51 minutes to complete.

For your visit, you can access the trail by parking at either River Park or Marcella Vivrette Smith Park, as the route connects these two locations. Restrooms are conveniently available at both ends of the trail and also at Primm Park, which is roughly halfway along the path. Feel free to bring your leashed canine companions along, as this is a dog-friendly trail.

Beyond the scenic river views, the trail offers a chance to explore significant local landmarks. You will pass by Marcella Vivrette Smith Park and the ancient Boiling Springs Mounds, adding a touch of history and natural wonder to your hike. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, as it is common to spot deer and wild turkeys during your time on the trail.
