It’s here!

Our dual-use trails are officially OPEN! What does this mean? It means that ~6 miles miles of trails, previously only open to Equestrians, is now open to hikers as well.

To ensure the safety of our hikers and equestrians, we ask that you follow a few rules on these trails:

🥾 Pedestrians always yield to horses— step off the trail and announce yourself with a calm voice
🥾 No cycling
🥾 No trail running
🥾 No dogs

To see an updated map that includes the new dual-use trails, click the link in our bio. 🔗

Happy trails!

ON THIS DAY 📆

On April 1, 1977, retired Vanderbilt zoologist Dr. Charles E. Farrell began his career as Environmental Education Coordinator at the Warner Park Nature Center. His passion for life and nature led to the growth and success of the YCC (Youth Conservation Corps) educational program, which was “reinvented” as S.W.E.A.T. team.

He mentored individuals like Bob Parrish, Sandy Bivens, and Deb Beazley in natural history and field research. His training and guidance served as inspiration for them and numerous others to protect and conserve natural spaces in Warner Parks and all across Tennessee.

We are so grateful for the contributions Dr. Farrell made to the Warner Parks! 💚
