Mill Creek Greenway
Updated: Nov 22, 2020
Mill Creek Greenway is over nine miles of paved pathway along Mill Creek. There are five sections of the Mill Creek Greenway, that are not all connected. The earliest mention I could find of Mill Creek is in the newspaper “The Tennessee Gazette” in 1800. The creek itself is over 28 miles, and the only place in the world that is home to a crustacean called the Nashville crayfish, which has been on the endangered species list since 1984. The area is prone to flooding, and has long been a part of Nashville’s list of areas to protect. The first section of the Greenway opened in 1998. As we strolled along a mile of the greenway, it was beautiful, and a peaceful respite from the city.
