The Spring Hill battlefield trail

The American Battlefield Trust has saved more than 195 acres of the field where the Battle of Spring Hill was fought on Nov. 29, 1864. Most of the battlefield has been lost to development, but an interpretive walking trail on Kedron Road at Reserve Boulevard “helps visitors understand one of the most controversial events of the Civil War,” the Trust says. It is free; bring water in summer. The history is in our history and landmarks guide.

The arboretum at Fischer Park

Fischer Park’s walking trail passes the city’s arboretum, where labeled trees include eastern red cedar, eastern white pine, sweetbay magnolia, pecan, river birch, tulip poplar and several oaks; the city’s arboretum page describes each one.

Greenways: built, funded and planned

  • Peter Jenkins Greenway: two sections were finished in 2012. In November 2023 the Board of Mayor and Aldermen accepted a $1,417,459.90 state Transportation Alternatives grant, with a $294,291.90 city match, for a connector. A construction date has not been set because the final design still needs TDOT approval (city page).
  • Harvey Park Greenway: a planned 1.3-mile paved greenway from Harvey Park on Miles Johnson Parkway to Wilkes Lane, linking shops and neighborhoods. Its federal environmental review is approved and it is in the design phase (city page).
  • The long-range plan: the Bicycle and Greenway Plan guides future bike and pedestrian projects alongside the city’s 2012 parks master plan and 2015 thoroughfare plan.

Biking

The Spring Hill Police Department’s rules of the road for e-bikes, motor scooters and golf carts say:

  • What a vehicle is called when it is sold does not decide its legal class. If it does not meet Tennessee’s definition of an electric bicycle, it may be a motor scooter or another motor vehicle, with different rules.
  • Class 3 e-bike riders must be at least 16, and every Class 3 rider, of any age, must wear a bicycle helmet.

For road work that affects bike routes, see road construction and closures.

What this means for you

For a daily walk, use the Fischer or Harvey park loops; for something longer and more scenic, the battlefield trail. Watch the city’s greenway pages for construction news on the Peter Jenkins and Harvey Park greenways.
