Paces Mill

"BEWARE: This is just a reminder to make sure that you lock your car. If you have to check it 10 times, check it 10 times. My friend had her purse stolen out of her car. They took her AMEX card and went straight to the Apple Store at Cumberland Mall and tried to purchase $5000 worth of items. Turns out the police received several phone calls about burglarized cars in that area that day. I’ve been going to this trail for years. It’s nicely paved and they stay on top of the upkeep. My favorite part of the trail is the flat rocks in the river that you’re able to sit on and enjoy the scenery, meditate, do homework, etc. . It’s quite peaceful. There are a few inclines that will make you lose your breath if you’re not in the best shape. If you go in the morning, especially in the summer, expect to see snakes crossing the path to enter the water and little creatures following behind them."

"This is one my favorite quick, local hikes. It’s also the ending point for when we tube the Chatahooche. It’s a paved walking trail (they also have offshoot walking paths they are more wooded). Large parking lot (requires pay fee if you don’t have a pass); also a bathroom onsite which is nice!"

"Very nice place to chill out. The water was not as cold as i expected. Looks like a fun place to do BBQ sometime."

"I love to go on walks by the river with my family or sometimes with just my baby. In the early mornings sometimes there is fog over the river and it’s absolutely gorgeous. You will see a lot of wildlife on this trail as well, watch out for snakes! The path is paved, very stroller friendly."

"So beautiful here. You can bring your dogs here for a nice swim in the river. Enjoy the vast trails they have. It’s so peaceful"
