Couchville Lake Trail

Couchville Lake Trail is the most popular path at Long Hunter State Park in Davidson County, Tennessee, offering an easy 2-mile loop around the scenic lake just minutes from Nashville. The well-maintained trail showcases the thriving hardwood forests, seasonal wildflowers, and abundant waterfowl that make this park a natural oasis near the city. The relatively flat terrain and smooth surface make this trail accessible for hikers of all ages and abilities, including families with young children.
