Shelby Bottoms Greenway
Tennessee · Greenway
A flat Nashville greenway through wetlands and river bottom forest. Stay on paved paths and avoid the closed boardwalk connector.
Access note. Checked October 15, 2026: Metro still lists the boardwalk near the observation deck closed for repairs. Its map marks the connector southeast of the deck, before the riverside-path junction. Check current Metro notices and map and choose an open return route; do not assume every loop or connector is available.
