Reviews
"Easy access from the Silver Comet Trail.Or you can walk the trail from Heritage Park, which can be very scenic."
"Ruins of historic mill on Nickajack Creek close to the end of Heritage Park trail. From the area you walk up to join Silver Comet Trail in Smyrna. Nice place."
"Beautiful paved path through the woods, great place if you have a bike, which by the way there's lots of bikers on the main path. If walking though you can access the side paths to the old Mill, which I highly recommend. Beautiful old piece of history."
"If you are into history, ruins, abandonment, or just want a place to relax or take a few pictures, then this is a neat site for it. Be careful while you're here plenty of tripping hazards."
"Only accessible on foot or bicycle from Silver Comet or Heritage Park Trails. Very neat, scenic old ruins framed by steel reinforcement and overgrown. There is a picnic table nearby too. The hike in will take longer than actually seeing this, but still fun."
