Question: Horseback Riding in the Nashville Area?
We have 3 horses at this time and plan on obtaining a few more. What areas are good surrounding the Nashville area that allow for a 20 to 40 minute commute and provide access to trail riding off property (without trailering?). Your help would be appreciated.
Answer: Hi,
The only public horse trails in Nashville/Davidson County are at Warner Park, but here are a few others in the area:
-Cedars of Lebanon State Park -Lebanon east of Nashville, and close to the airport.
-Fairview Nature Park-Fairview west of Nashville.
-Percy Priest Park- Donelson east near the airport.
I've heard that the airport even has trails now so you might want to check with them too..
There are a lot of horse trails just west of Nashville, on and/or near the Buffalo River which is about an hours drive from downtown.
If you have another question or if you want me to update, add to, or edit my current answer, please feel free to e-mail me anytime!
