Stones River Greenway

With its construction beginning in 2001, the Stones River Greenway is a ten-mile-long, linear park that connects the Shelby Bottoms Greenway with the Percy Priest Lake in East Nashville. The curvilinear path follows the Stones River, which is a tributary of the Cumberland River; it crosses the river twice via two pedestrian bridges. Furthermore, it crosses the former antebellum estates of the Clover Bottom Mansion, Two Rivers Mansion, and the site of Andrew Jackson’s Clover Bottom General Store. Andrew Jackson operated on the river before he became a military leader in 1812. The area was passed over from one owner to another until after World War II, when it was sold to the state of Tennessee. Stones River Greenway preserves the natural beauty and it historical significance.
