Cottonwood Loop

Just came for the first time with a 9 yrs old, an 11 and a 12, they did great. Its a fun easy first experience for beginners boarding the river. When we found the clubhouse for parking, we've got a little intimidated with the "only residents" sign, but its mostly to keep it safe and "noise" free.

Yeah, went to scout out this trail today and there are multiple signs declaring this area to be private property. Probably cool for the people that live in Cottonwood estates but the last thing I need is to risk being hassled by Franklin's finest when I'm trying to get my ride on.

Easy quick trail that is one mile long one way. Actually pretty fun. Great to hit 3 or 4 times in a row back and forth for exercise. Great trail for beginners. The directions link took me totally somewhere else but here are the directions.
Directions
Go from Franklin high school take Hillsboro road north and then turn left at feild stone parkway go

straight until you hit cotton lane. Then turn right and take a left on Riverwood dr. Then keep going to the

3rd stop sign on cotton wood dr. Turn Right then go until you see sign for cottonwood clubhouse and

turn left. Then keep going until you kan turn right on a road next to tennis courts then go down in the

ditch and take the gravel path until it ends then keep going along treeline then when you get to the end

of that the trail starts on your left. Keep an eye out for it sometimes you can miss it.

Easy it's for begginers never closes right next to river 3 jumps ok anybody can ride it
