Marcella Vivrette Smith park, Franklin

My son and I hiked the black trail. There are 4 trails and they vary in difficulty and length. The green begins in another area. There is plenty of parking, a public water fountain and bathroom. The trail we walked was 2 miles. There was a little mud from rain we got yesterday but it wasn't bad. I appreciated the shade from the trees. I am 50 and not an athlete in any way and did fine on the black trail. I also appreciated the markets along the trail and how clean and well kept it was.

Beautiful property with magnificent views of the country side. The walking trails were well marked. We took the green trail which was just a little rugged. Just enough for me. It is good to still see wide open landscapes. Something that is disappearing in an alarming rate across the country. A least this property is preserving green space for future generations.
