    Warner Park - Mossy Ridge Trail


    Comment on Facebook

    The Mossy Ridge Trail is the longest of the three loop footpaths in the Warner Parks. It is the quietest and least used loop as well. An ideal training hike, the path leaves the Deep Well trailhead and winds through rich hollows and dry ridges of the Harpeth Hills, making frequent but never sustained elevation changes. Scattered in the woods are big trees and a spring-fed waterfall. At 4.5 miles, the Mossy Ridge Trail qualifies as a full-fledged hike that will not disappoint. If it weren't for some park road crossings and a little road noise from the highway, hikers could be in a remote swath of Middle Tennessee back in the days when Nashvillians traveled by horse. You will be traveling by foot in cove hardwood forests and along hickory/ oak/cedar ridges in Percy Warner Park, where the hiking rivals any city park in the country.
