I did not know what to expect but I was very pleasantly surprised. The bikes were fun and easy to use. The bikes had much more power and battery life than I had expected. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. We rode around the back streets of Franklin TN. for about an hour and truly had fun. I will certainly do it again.

This Williamson County Park with multiple loop trails of various lengths is accessed via the Natchez Trace Parkway near the iconic Trace Bridge that spans TN 96 West — is a great place to enjoy nature and get a little education on tree’s names while you’re at it. Not much of the property is flat or level — the trails run along the tops of hillsides and ridges as well as crisscrossing the steep ravines. Trail markers are very visible — four different color blaze markers — sometimes overlapping. Benches for resting are placed throughout the park to help you catch your breath or just enjoy the sights. A Trail Office is staffed with helpful guides and maps as well as public restrooms. Park closes at 4pm during the winter months.

My niece was visiting from Oregon, so we thought it would be fun to take a trail ride, and picked this place. Wonderful! Very safe, whether you're an experienced rider or a newby. several young guides with our "troop." You could have a western saddle or an English saddle. It was a beautiful ride through the woods and a creek. Really appreciated the shade in this heat. The surrounding hills are really pretty. Well worth the $40 per rider, I thought. If you're looking for a cross country galloping adventure, this isn't it, but if you're wanting a relaxing ride for a group of all ages, Creekside is great! We'll definitely be back.
