Whether you want to get active or take a scenic walk through nature, the Clarksville Greenway offers a wonderful experience for citizens and visitors with picturesque views. Users can bike, skate, run, or walk the trail.<\/p>\n

The trailhead with the most parking is at Heritage Park on Peachers Mill Road. Trail users are reminded to park only in designated areas. Parking on the road or blocking private residences is not permitted.

Clarksville BCycle is a great way to navigate our paved trails. BCycle is an automated bike sharing system designed for use by many people for short trips around town or recreational riding.

This year\u2019s Opening Day event coincides with the 50th anniversary of the National Trails System Act, federal legislation that established the country\u2019s National Scenic Trails and National Recreation Trails. The act made possible many of the country\u2019s railbanked rail-trails as a result of the 1983 Railbanking Amendment to the National Trails System Act.
