Started at Tillman around 8 and did the entire trail out and back. Amazing scenery and wonderful smells. Flowers in full bloom and the birds singing. We ride this trail every time we visit our daughter at college. One can make this trail as long or short as one likes since it borders Shelby Farm Park which has other trails. We've found nice places to eat toward mid-town favorite Cheffie's Cafe and there's some places along North Germantown Pkwy on the other end.
The new section is nice. It was opening the weekend after our last trip. I drive from Kansas City, mo. I decided to take our bikes this year just to ride this trail. My husband thought I was crazy. I did my research, this trip is doable. The weather forecast leading up to our trip called for rain that entire week. I lived the next few days watching the weather channel. Monday morning at 4am we loaded up the bikes and headed for Memphis.
We arrived to a beautiful, clear sky. The trail did not disappoint, it is gorgeous, well maintained. We saw many walkers, riders, all of them smiled at us. The trail has the right amount of shade trees for a hot day. Shelby Farms Greenline was also a great ride, we saw Bison, the lakes are nice. On the way back to our car it started to rain, we stopped under an overpass where we met a local rider who told us where to go for Memphis BBQ. Once back to our car we met a lady who rides the trail daily but walked today because of the rain.
I can't rate this trail without rating the people we met. It was 5 star all around. We will definitely drive the 2 hours out of our way again. Yes, Memphis has a very nice green-line trail.
I go from my house near downtown Memphis to connect with the Greenline at Tillman Street - then it's a very nice 6. It's shady and pretty flat most of the way - really great for an early morning ride! I deducted one star only because you have to stop a couple of times for cross streets.
Great trail! I started running just to try and get in better shape but I love running on the greenline and now I run 6 days a week along this beautiful path Everyone I pass is so friendly and it really inspired me to keep going. I just wish we had more indoor tracks in this city for days when it rains.
There is a lot of construction currently, but I rode northeast going up N. Pine Lake Dr. Pine loops back onto itself. Riding west, you will pass the penal farm and a couple of industrial sites then hit an awesome bottom area has to be unbelievable in autumn with a couple of tussles. I saw some mountain bike trails below, Wolf River Trails. The first residential street that you cross will be Waring Rd. You will have a pleasant, shaded ride crossing a couple of residential streets until Tillman St.
Nice trail, enjoyed riding it. Only had a bit of trouble locating the trailhead at Shelby Farms. More signage to the Greenline would be helpful. Also wish it was longer but I guess that will come in time. Our walking group from Emmanuel Methodist Church walked a portion of the Greenline today. We met at the church and rode to the Podesta entry point and walked to High Point Terrace about three miles where we exited and walked a short distance to Cheffie's for lunch.
It was a wonderful experience. Everyone should do this every week! I have lived in Memphis past 3 years all of it in apartments until 2 months ago we found a rental house on Chalmers. Being and avid biker I had been hearing about the Greenline trail and went past it more than once. I had a stop on Podesta one saturday and lo and behold, an entry point to Greenline was right down the block!!
I finally got to ride it yesterday on my atb bike, so today I took the roadbike and it was a much quicker trip.. I am hooked!! I have to find the offroad trail for mountain biking though.. Also want to explore Stanky Creek.. My husband and I are traveling cross country and riding on various bike trails along the way. I am a novice bicyclist and I found this trail to be scenic, easy and shady.
I had a very nice ride. Rivers, lakes, ponds, flowers, birds, bridges, ducks, squirrels, Great Blue Herons, chipmunks, deer, bison, walkers, skaters, runners, and road, comfort, or mountain bikers During all of this, the 3 or 4 busy streets crossed all had the push-button crossing lights, and I never had to ride on a city street or highway with automobiles.
All of this was on clean paved trails. I'm proud that Memphis and Shelby County, have put all of this together, and they're still expanding. It's great! March 20, Kevyn User. February 6, Road biking.

Flat and long. Great for consistency. Joy King. Shelby Farms Greenline is a The Greenline is a rails-to-trails project that transformed an unused railroad line into one of Tennessee's favorite trails. If you want to hit the trail on a bicycle, bring your own or visit rent a bike from the Hyde Lake Wheel House!
