Tennessee Hikes Perfect For The Fall – Followed By A Spa Day

When it comes to hiking in the autumn, there just isn’t a better place to be than Tennessee.

And you don’t even have to go that far from home if you are a Nashvillian. Here are just a few Tennessee hikes that are perfect for the fall (and then we’ll talk about following it up with a spa day here at Urban Oasis Day Spa!):

Bells Bend

Bells Bend just might be one of the most stunning natural spaces in the Nashville area, and it’s also relatively unknown, so you can often have it all to yourself. There’s an outdoor center that offers a range of environmental education programs, too. You can ramble through fields surrounded by trees with lush and vibrant foliage and spot wildlife along the way. The trails in this area are not considered strenuous. 

Edwin Warner and Percy Warner Parks

The Warner Parks area is perhaps the most popular in the Nashville area, known for its incredible hiking trails and expansive spaces. (And speaking of spaces, this urban park system is the second-largest in the nation after Central Park in New York!) You can choose from easy, moderate, and strenuous trails within the park system, or you can climb the stairs at the end of Belle Meade Blvd., which were used for scenes from the television show “Nashville.” These stairs are a serious hike all by themselves, often used by runners in preparation for racing.

Fiery Gizzard Trail

If you want to get farther out of town in search of a more difficult – yet rewarding – trek, the Fiery Gizzard Trail is a 9-plus mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Tracy City, Tennessee that might suit your fancy. It features a waterfall and is rated as difficult. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from April until November, so you may want to start planning now. FYI: Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on a leash.

These are just a few of the beautiful hiking areas that you can sample in Tennessee! Check out the Tennessee State Parks website for more information and many other lovely locations throughout the state.
