Hidden Springs Trail

Hidden Springs Trail is an easy 5-mile loop at Cedars of Lebanon State Park in Wilson County, Tennessee, winding through one of the largest remaining red cedar forests in the United States. The flat, well-maintained path passes interesting limestone formations created by thousands of years of erosion in this unique karst landscape. Spring brings abundant displays of wildflowers, including several rare species found in cedar glades. While the trail offers easy hiking, some visitors find the consistent scenery less varied than other trails, particularly on the return sections. The unique cedar glade ecosystem supports specialized plants and animals found in few other places. Interpretive signs explain the geology and ecology of this distinctive Middle Tennessee landscape. The trail provides an accessible way to explore one of Tennessee’s most unusual natural communities.
