The Trails at Fontanel

Trail has no markings on the trail. We got about 1/2 and due to work being done in the area we could not find the trail on the other side of the work. We turned around and went back the way we came

Wonderful little trail connected to a semi-shady greenway that is also open to cars in one section. The area seems recently abandoned though; the restaurant by the parking lot is overgrown with vines, there are deep pot holes in the lot, and the zip lines accessible by trail are closed (permanently?). It is also a little confusing that you have to cross part of a field for a second to get from the end of the trail back to the greenway, but it’s easy enough to figure out where you are. It’s a strange vibe here, probably haunted, but great to bring your dog or family to play in the creek, or for a short and easy hike on the trail.

Great little loop. Some obstacles like down trees and some mud with the recent rain. Some elevation but not terrible. Easy other than those few factors. Nice creek near the start as well. Kind of a hidden gem near nashville and has ziplining. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is there are limited trails and its shorter in length so its not for people looking for a longer hike or more variety,

If you walk on the trail and you start to go around the back side of mansion it's really muddy on that side I mean really muddy . Also all the zip lines weren't in use and blocked off what a bummer.It was still fun to get out but also muddy something to think about if you didn't want to clean your shoes afterwards! Hope this helped someone have great day!

Found this gorgeous spot on Google today! My two pups loved it. They got muddy but I was able to rinse them off in the water lol You can swim there, it's like a natural floating river. They have zip lining so you can hear them here an there and see them above you at times. It's really cool. Can't wait to go back. It's easy to access and the trails are nice. Please keep your dogs on a leash though! One of my rescue dogs is not friendly and weighs 10 pounds. All the sudden there is this huge black dog running to us. I had to pick up my dog and hold and hug him. I had no idea what was going to happen. They we're going crazy and I'm grateful no one was injured. She was very rude, couldn't believe it. Follow the rules and keep your dog on a leash. PLEASE and thank you! Enjoy! Happy hiking !
