This is a beautiful trail. I came in my skates and the sections between the Springhill suites and look out point are about 3 miles of flat paved sidewalk. After that there was a few steep hills that were too much for me on wheels and I had to turn back. Would definitely come again, this connects to another 12 miles of trails that come the river. Would highly recommend scouting on a bike prior to skating as the Tennessee hills are gnarly.
