Couchville Cedar Glade State Natural Area

Couchville Cedar Glade spans 140 acres of limestone outcrops where Eastern red cedars grow among native grasses and seasonal wildflowers.

The natural area received its name from the submerged community of Couchville, which existed before the area received protected status.

This location functions as an educational center where students and researchers study the adaptation of plant species to harsh limestone environments.

Visitors can explore the mile-long hiking trail that circles through one of Middle Tennessee's most intact cedar glade environments.

The site contains Tennessee Coneflower populations, which grow naturally only in the limestone cedar glades of Middle Tennessee.
