The Mossy Ridge Trail is the longest of the three loop footpaths in the Warner Parks. 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.

Note that because of changes to parking/access at the Deep Well entrance, the hike is now \~5.5 miles.

Directions to Deep Well entrance of Percy Warner Park:

From the point where Highway 100 begins at Highway 70 near the Belle Meade Post Office, head west on TN-100 1.7 miles to the large stone gates on the left with Deep Well Entrance sign that mark the entrance of Percy Warner Park (Immediately after the Vaughn Gap Rd/Music City Bikeway Stop Light).
