Now you're ready............

What's next?




During the week take a drive, or on weekends take our shuttle bus, to the mountain top; drive to Cheatham Hill (the main battlefield) then to Kolb Farm; picnic in designated areas; hike some of the 18 miles of our maintained interpretive trails; bring your binoculars and go birdwatching or your camera and capture a moment.

Please keep in mind that firearms, fireworks, fires made outside of the designated picnic areas in the grills provided and alcoholic beverages are prohibited.

Dogs are welcome on the Battlefield grounds but they must be on a leash no more than 6ft in length and under the owners physical restraint at all times. Please be mindful of where dogs "stop". Please pick up anything they leave behind with mutt mits that are free and in dispensers in all parking areas.

We ask that you enjoy your visit, walk the beautiful grounds and if you happen to catch our wildlife in action, watch and enjoy, but please do not approach.

The Battlefield is NOT open for hunting. If you witness illegal hunting or hear gunshots, please call 911 immediately to alert law enforcement officers.

 

 

 

Earthworks of Cheatham Hill, protected, preserved unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.
