Riverwoods State Natural Area



The Riverwoods State Natural Area is a 21-acre natural area located in Germantown, TN, which is a Memphis suburb.



I had been to my internist for a regular check-up (all is well), and this park was close by.


See those wooden steps down the hill in the bottom right photo of the four directly above? There are two like that. This is a rustic trail, with no paved sections. On the opposite side of the park from the trailhead pictured at the top of the post the trail connects to the Eastern part of the Wolf River Nature Area and the Wolf River Greenway. Parts of that area are set up as a bike and pedestrian walkway and are accessible:



I didn't go further but will definitely go back to fully explore that area. This link to Google Maps shows how green it is and yet how close to businesses and homes.

  2. I was gone all day to MO, and that's why I'm late visiting. I swear I drove through places that looked very much like that. It's a beautiful nature area and I was really impressed that they kept it so natural. I can see why you enjoyed the visit and walk.

    1. It really is rustic. The trail was hard to find at some points, but it's small enough so that's not worrisome.

    1. I didn't even know this park existed until I saw it on google maps when I checked the location of the doctor to make sure she was where I remembered her being. I had just never noticed it before.
