Comprised of wooded hills, Forest Hills is surprisingly very bike-friendly

Suburban History Outdoors Bicycle-Friendly Airport Tennessee

The community of Forest Hills is a suburb of Nashville, located in Davidson County. Its landscape is comprised of steep wooded hills – which is how it got its name. The land was originally settled in the late 1700s; the oldest remaining landmark is the McCrory-Mayfield House, a log cabin from 1798. Only a handful of these historic homes still exist today.

Forest Hills offers residents plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun and recreation, such as Bison Meadow Park, the Warner Parks, and the 1,300-acre Radnor Lake State Park. This bicycle-friendly city has the Bikeway, which takes riders from Otter Creek to Granny White Pike. Forest Hills is 11 miles outside of downtown Nashville’s gourmet restaurants and attractions. The international airport is 15 miles away.
