Murfrees Wetland is a place I can go every week and see several different animals and birds! It is absolutely beautiful there!

We spent a few hours walking around and watching the wild life. We saw lots of turtles, fish, and beavers. We even saw a small but shy little snake. The plants and flowers were beautiful. Lots of birds too. Theres a discovery center too but it was closed on Mondays. Looking forward to visiting again.

Always lots of animals, not too many people. Great for Pokemon GO if you play.

A great place to bring young ones. Learn practical applications related to science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. You can visit for a few minutes or stay for hours...and hours. Its so interesting here for young and old minds alike, dont be surprised if you hear some crying on the way out!

It was a nice place to walk, but the garbage floating in the water was pretty disappointing. I did not take pictures of the trash.

Nice wetland with broad walkways. Diverse, observable wildlife. Interesting gardens, a playground, cool art, and lots of benches.

Can’t beat free, unique, local community parks like these. The park isn’t too big for a short walk to enjoy the natural beauty and nature that is captured at this spot. Cities, like Murfreesboro, should be commended for funding and setting aside land for these types of experiences - a special and serene location where otters, beavers, cranes, and other wildlife can be observed. The visitor center was closed because of COVID-19 situation, however, after peering in the window, it looked like something for smaller kids anyway. I would give it five stars except for all the floating garbage that detracted from the overall enjoyment. We could see a variety of styrofoam, toys, beer bottles, food wrappers, etc. After talking with a local there, we were told that the city (or whoever) used to clean it out, but for some reason, stopped doing it. She also mentioned that some wildlife recently died from eating some of the floating garbage...

I was disappointed at the trash that people had thrown in the wetlands. It is a beautiful place that needs to be protected. Our cub scout pack was also very sad by the trash they saw but enjoyed discovering the ecosystem and the wildlife.

A surprise to find in such a busy spot of Murfreesboro. Relatively peaceful walk on the boardwalk over the water.

This is a great place to take a walk and just reflect on your day its peaceful calm and quiet.

Beautiful atmosphere. Untouched nature. Greatbfor teaching the kids about animal life and plant life.

It is awesome to have the wetlands here in the city. It is beautiful and very calming to visit.

Beautiful nature walk behind the Murfreesboro Discovery Center. Lots of wildlife to see if youre quiet and patient.

This a wonderful park to take your kids. Lots of tn wildlife they have little playground also in the front. They do need to do a wildlife clean up where people have come and dropped things in the water and it just floats.in to a little island. Otherwise wonderful place for the extremely easy nature lover. All pathways are paved.

Kinda smaller than other parks, but you might see some cute animals

How hard is it to not throw your trash into the wetlands? There are several bins around the trail... Major disappointment.

Absolutely loved it will definitely be back. Plan to make it an all day. Take the time to walk around outside too in the wetlands. Theres so much to see.

Great nature sanctuary in the heart of the city. Excellent place to bring visiting friends without spending cash

Yes please!!! Mimi & PopTim took the Grandboys here for a quick mid-afternoon stroll. Wow! How fun for us AND the boys! Now, this is nature, so patience is a must. That said, we were able to see plenty of wildlife on our stroll that entertained a 3 yr old & 12 yr old - just with the wetlands walk! (Which is FREE, btw!)Inside, the a/c is welcome, but Corona boolah-boolah virus threats made me too nervous to fully enjoy watching my boys have hands-on-experience w/water works, fire engine, hearing tests, etc.The Discovery Center encourages, and provides, hand sanitizing stations that are plentiful throughout the inside facility.Masks are not only required, but are friendly-like reminded while youre inside on the premises. Thank you Discovery Center for helping remind us of our safety during these crazy times.We WILL be back!

Nice quiet spot in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

Amazing place.. Turtles,birds,and saw a big black cat. Garbage in water only down fall.

Awesome beautiful unexpected morning of dragonflies, fish, muskrat or beaver and blue heron

Wonderful area to get a lil exercise and see some wildlife! plenty of frogs, turtles, raccoons, snakes, and birds of every feather.

My boys loved it and love going into the splash area

Great place to walk around and chill take the kids relax very clean, peaceful and educational.

Great place for peaceful scenery & family/kids.

Beautiful and scenic. Great place for a walk.

This is just a wonderful nature area where youd never expect it. Parking is sometimes tight on days when the Discovery center is open for free, but otherwise its a great, quiet spot to walk and enjoy nature. I went twice during the winter so there wasnt much activity from the wildlife, but there are signs of beaver activity and you can hear the birds all around.

Quiet spot in the middle of town, great for nature lovers.

Beautiful walk with cute wildlife!

Beautiful place but lots of trash . Needs some TLC

Unfortunately there is a good amount of litter. But its still amazing. Lots of turtles

Love bringing the kids here we get to talk around and count all the turtles. I wish people were a little more respectful and did not just throw trash everywhere but at the same time I wish that it was cleaned up as well. Has a small playground area, restrooms and reading material throughout the trail.

Good place to create memories with family

Its a short little walkway through the wetlands in Murfreesboro that is charming and a great place to both jog and just stroll.

So pretty

Loved it beautiful

The walkway was nice and it wasnt crowded, unfortunately there was garbage in the wetland area from awful people who litter.

Great walking area. Quite peaceful and pretty

Amazing place! We saw so much natural beauty, but our favorite was the family of wild otters!

This is absolutely a beautiful place to visit to bring your children, to explore Gods natural creation. But it NEEDS to.be cleaned, trash, tirs,shoes,cans are kill the turtles,snakes,and other wetland species. This was sad and hard breaking to watch. I will not be quite until this problem is rectified!!!

I used to come here all the time when I was little, and I still love it to this day. It is very peaceful, and a good place to teach children about nature and expose them to Tennessees wildlife. Unfortunately, there is a littering problem, and the ecosystem has been suffering.

I love to walk on the greenway and my poodle loves to go wading in the creek . it is a wonderful asset in the Murfreesboro area

What unexpected area, the wetlands were beautiful and we saw at least 6 otters

Love taking the kids on nature walks here! Half a mile loop.

My son loves it here

Nice. educational. but really does need cleaning up.

Amazing walk and area! The water is amazing!

Great place for a family walk my kids absoutly loved it

What a wonderful surprise to find this in the heart of Murfreesboro! Great fun for my Grandchildren! Loved the wetlands area too.

Such a pretty place to take a walk and have some scenery.

If downtown Murfreesboro lost its water system, here is fresh potable water.

One of my favorite places to take the kids, and they really love it as well!

Turtles, snakes, and ducks, and all kinds of wild life.

I do my hour walk here and I can play Pokemon Go in tandem!

Lovely. Needs help picking up trash. Volunteer day? Thank you Mboro!

Nice place to come and re relax

Beautiful area. Just needs people to stop littering.

Love this little piece of heaven

Great place to see wildlife

Super beautiful & peaceful but littered with trash.

Love taking my kids bere

It would be so much better if all the trash was cleaned from the water

Great fun for the little ones.

Awesome experience for my kiddos!!!

Pretty nice spot to chill

Love it here

Peaceful and love seeing the wildlife

Peaceful and Scenic

A beautiful part of Murfreesboro that everyone should enjoy at least once!

Best for younger children.

Cool place

Great place to go

I only regret not spending more time here. I uploaded some video footage of this place to my YouTube channel.

Great!
