The Ted Rhodes Park/MetroCenter Levee Greenway is a scenic multi-use trail in Nashville, Tennessee, offering opportunities for walking, running, and cycling. The trail is approximately 7.1 miles out and back and is generally considered flat and easy. It takes about 2 hours to complete the entire trail as you follow the Cumberland River with frequent river views from the man-made levee that protects the MetroCenter area. The greenway connects Ted Rhodes Park to Metro Riverfront Park and Nissan Stadium (formerly LP Field). The route is predominantly paved, making it suitable for various activities, including walking, jogging, and biking.
Most of the the Cumberland River Greenway trail lies on the west/south bank of the river, but it does cross over the Shelby Street Bridge and continues to LP Field. This part of the trail is known locally as the East Bank Greenway. The trail runs with frequent views of the river from Ted Rhodes Park at 2015 Ed Temple Boulevard to Metro Riverfront Park and LP Field. On our hike we mostly explored the trails near Ted Rhodes Park which is at the western section of the Greenway and hiked a shorter section of the path.
