Best Walking Trails & Routes in Memphis

Park by the lake and make your way to the uplands which has one of the entrance points to the Chickasaw Trail. The loop is a 2.75 mile trail. Enjoy the arboretum and ponds along the trail.

I heard there was a 9 mile trail but I think I missed understood. Maybe when it’s warmer, I’ll try again. However, this a great and safe place for kids. Places to play tennis or baseball are available.

Drive through the Uplands and park at the disc golf course and look for the dirt path behind the kiddie gym which connects to the Chickasaw Trail and make a left until you find the path leading to the greenline. Once you cross to the Greenline you can go east or west. For this particular route, go east. If you’re not crunched on time see how far the east side of the trail will take you. Otherwise you can follow this route exactly. In case you’re wondering, I got lost looking for my van but ended discovering that I parked around the corner (roughly) near the zipline/Duke (name?) Lake.
