I love bringing my kids up here for long walks and playing at the creek. Today we found a little hidden side trail and went exploring. The scenery was beautiful, and even though I slipped and sprained my ankle we all had a great time. We took a bunch of pictures and will be back for more when we can. It can get a little crowded at times but on a Monday afternoon it was nearly empty.

Lovely river walk or bike ride along a wonderfully cool, tree lined path, even on the hottest of days. Plenty of parking with a port-a-potty in the car park. Picnic benches and seating scattered all along the approx 12 mile Greenway. Vehicle access to river so you can unload kayaks, lots of places to let kids cool off and play in the river. Fishing is allowed though I dont know if you need a fishing license. Take water if you plan on walking a while as there is no water along Greenway. Great place to walk dogs with a grass verge so they dont burn their feet on very hot days and they can take a cool dip in the river. There is a very well maintained and dog size sectioned, dog park around 1.5 miles from Thompson trailhead, which has an obstacle course as well as its own car park. Close to historical sites.

Nice place, water is swift and cool this time of year. Fun place to yak!

Currently, this is the northernmost point of the greenway. Its nice to jump on here and take as long of a ride as you need. Hopefully Murfreesboro will connect it to the Walter Hill greenway soon.

Calm and peaceful place. Even with all the rain we have had lately, was still able to see and take some pictures of some of the wildlife.

There are several nice Trailheads around the Nashville, Murfreesboro área. However none best the Murfreesboro network of greenways. They are well kept, beautiful scenery and Friendly people. If you start at the Thompson Lane Trailhead, the greenways runs completely across Murfreesboro and Beyond. I love It and go every chance my wife and i get. Try it. I assure you youll go back for more!!

Good place to bank fish, not the best place to kayak, but you can do it.

Water is shallow with a good current. Great for kids and pets.

End of the Greenway. Boat ramp. Great place to start kayaking ending at Nice Mill dam. Good place to wade in water. Plenty of parking. No bathrooms.

It is always well kept and a part of murfreesboro history. It connects to the greenway.

Easy walk, beautiful place!

Fav trailhead so far, love that most of its length is shaded.

Great place to walk and relax. Riverfront. Such a beauty.

My husband and I had a great bike ride!

Clean. Safe. Beginning of greenway, great place to start exercise.

Great spot!! My granddaughter and I enjoy the trails! Its our bonding time

Well marked paved trail for all ages

Great Trail For A Bike Ride

Peaceful, and just a nice place to get away.. Even if its just for a few hours.

Beautiful water makes for a nice walk, and theres an awesome open field. We had a good time (:

As always nice as scenery

I thought it very safe. Lots of walkers, even saw a policeman in a 4x4. The leaves are not out yet, but soon.

Slow down coming around the curb or youll miss it! Once youre there, youll enjoy it!

Great trail for biking or walking.

It was nice today!

Very nice walking, running and bike riding trail. Beautiful scenery

Great bike trail!

Excellent place with good parking to take a short, medium or long walk. You can also launch a canoe at the river or take a bicycle ride along the trail.

Great starting spot for a Greenway ride.

No restroom at this trailhead otherwise would get 5 stars.

Great for bike rides with the family

Its beautiful.

Everyone in Murfreesboro should get to know the Greenway. Our hidden gem.

With the asphalt, this is perfect for walking or biking. If youre looking to run, the surface may be hard on your knees.

☆This review was corrected on January 3, 2019 after I re-read it and found that I put the description of three separate trailheads together. I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused anyone.☆Ive been visiting the Thompson Lane Trailhead and the trail head off West college street and connecting greenway trail(s) off, and on, since 1996.The W. College street trailhead has plenty of parking, a spacious covered picnic area including several long and/or divided picnic tables as well as play ground for the younger children.While also offering very well maintained bathroom facilities and a cold water drinking fountain.There is plenty of well maintained grassy areas for people of all ages to use a place for light sports like, frisbee, or playing pitch - with a ball and glove, or, any family friendly park-like games.(Connecting to the Stones River battlefield behind Murfreesboro Outdoors)With the clearing of the (originally fenced off dirt path) where the trail previosly stopped, (or started from), at the concrete canoe/kiyack ramp into the Stones River waters back in the 1990s, hiking/walking enthusiests can directly walk from this the Thompson Lane trail head just a very short walking distance to the back entrance of the location marked with a tall monument and cannons set in place honoring the brave soldiers who fought and died there in January of 1863.When a fierce battle between Union and Confederate Soldiers had 1800 human casualties in just three days!The beauty of the Stones River running its course along the trail, makes it hard to imagine that at one point it was a place of such violence, and tragedy.The City of Murfreesboro, and, County of Rutherford, Tennessee gained an ir-replaceable asset, when the greenway trail(s) were built and by providing informational stands that are marked with photos and written descriptions of the Battle of Stones River, or sometimes called The Battle of Murfreesboro, and what reportably happened at the very or, nearby location(s) you are standing as you read historical accounts of the great decisive Civil War battle.Anyway you call it! The trailheads and scenery along the trail, definately was/is, a great addition to Murfreesboro (since its inception.)Which allows a place for residents and visitors to relax, fish, walk, and enjoy the serenity that it brings.Can you tell I love it??!!

Great place for families. Hiking, biking and fishing. However, not much access for fishing.

It’s a nice place to take a walk and enjoy the outdoors.

Great greenway to ride a bicycle or just take a nice long walk.

Nice trailhead but enough traffic for a real restroom. One nasty portable toilet isnt enough

Nice, paved trail thats great for walking or biking.

Great scenic

Fish for a little while caught a nice Smallmouth. Great place for walking or bicycling. The Greenway is beautiful instrumented by water and trees and Wildlife

Nice river views, with broad paved walkways that provide little risk from ticks getting on you if you dont go into the brush.

A great starting point for an easily measurable (distance) workout. Beautiful right on the river, I see all kinds of birds, turtles, squirrels all along here. Its the cleaner end of the Greenway, once you get down past a certain point it gets trashy. So instead of getting on at the trashy part which is closer to my house, I drive to Thompson Lane to workout

Beautiful scenery. Well maintained. Great parking lot. Awesome experience.

Very clean jogging trail with nature preserve for ducks, turtles, and cranes. Plenty of bench seating along the path.

The Greenway is the best thing to happen to Murfreesboro and this particular trailhead is the best one on the entire trail if you ask me.The Greenway is the perfect way to get a little exercise, enjoy nature, take the kids on a walk and never have to leave the comforts of being in town.

Great place to relax and exercise.

Beautiful scenery. Flowing water. Canoe launch.

A good location to pull out your kayak and great access to the Greenway.

Lots of history to explore and very peaceful walking trails

Absolutely fabulous we saw 4 deer!

Awesome place to walk

Wonderful trail for late afternoon hike!

Awesome place to walk, bike ride or go canoeing

Clean and safe feeling.

Easy to access, plenty of parking, always clean

Peaceful and love the wilderness

It is a good place to start a run or walk. Great place on Sunday Mornings. Keep valuables hidden and your car locked, it is just sensible.

Have gotten back to riding bicycles for the past couple of weekends and have enjoyed the greenway. I have ridden over 80 miles total. The view, wildlife and people made for a great ride.i hope to have many more.

This is a nice, quick spot for a walk or jog. It is also conveniently located close to Stone River Battlefield.

If they had a bathroom facility it would have been 5 stars. Currently just a porta-john.

Beautiful place for an afternoon walk. There is deer that come up and just hang out so thats also very cool!

Lots of parking.

Pretty handicapped friendly. Very surprising

One of the best things about Murfreesboro.

Lots of history and right by the water! One of my favorite trails on the Greenway!
