Exploring the great outdoors with kids isn’t just about fresh air and exercise — it’s about adventure, discovery, and maybe even a little bit of mud. Luckily, Middle Tennessee is packed with family-friendly trails where little legs can roam, curious minds can explore, and parents can soak up the beauty of nature (while possibly bribing for just one more mile with snacks). So nurture that nature-loving by taking strolls or a mini wilderness trek. There’s a perfect trail waiting for your crew! Here are great ways to engage them online.
