Winstead Hill Park 4023 Columbia Avenue, Franklin, TN 37064

"This is a great dog- friendly park. There are restrooms, a water fountain, paved trails, and doggie bags to clean up after your pet. This historical site provides information on the Battle of Franklin, has memorial stones for the troops and generals of the Confederacy, and has the observation lookout over the entire Battle of Franklin area. The 3/4 mile paved trail loops below the observation lookout and winds through beautiful wooded areas and across streams."

"It's a great park. Very beautiful with lovely paths to walk on that are well maintained and also not too long. You feel surprisingly remote considering there is a target parking lot next door. Great place to walk you dog too but only on a leash of course."

"My family and I enjoyed the beautiful scenery here. Good history at this location and great details of the Battle of Franklin and Nashville. The trail is about a 3/4 of a mile and you can many folks here with dogs, scooters, or running. I can definitely see this as a picnic area as well. I believe there is a small public restroom and plenty of parking. We felt safe here and definitely will go back!"

"Lovely place for a 3/4-mile walk through the woods. Civil War interpretive signs help explain the significance of the site in the Battle of Franklin. The squirrels everywhere were about the only companions I had this September evening. I'd love to come here again."

"If you are interested in our country's history and the Civil War, then check out the historical City of Franklin and Winstead Hill. We picked up a pamphlet at the visitors center that is a audio tour of the area, including Winstead Hill. We thoroughly enjoyed learning more about this period in our history."
