You must have a headlamp or flashlight - It will be dark before we finish!
The Mossy Ridge Trail is the longest of the three loop footpaths in the Warner Parks. It is the quietest and least used loop as well. An ideal training hike, the path leaves the Deep Well trailhead and winds through rich hollows and dry ridges of the Harpeth Hills, making frequent but never sustained elevation changes. Scattered in the woods are big trees and a spring-fed waterfall. At 4.5 miles, the Mossy Ridge Trail qualifies as a full-fledged hike that will not disappoint.

Hey Devon, nice meeting \ hiking with you tonight. Good thing you passed on the 2nd lap as it was a wash, literally got rained on the entire lap. Anyways, if you find yourself wanting to get out there to trail run, let me know as I typically can be somewhat flexible with my work schedule. I'm not a trail runner, but it's not to far away from reality...haha
