Notes, Testimonials and Greetings from Visitors to the Townsend River Walk & Arboretum (TRWA)
The TRWA has over the years had some really great visitor comments, posts on websites and social media, news articles and so much more. We have never solicited these comments but are so grateful that visitors enjoy this special and unique adventure in Townsend.
In late June 2024, a visitor suggested adding a nature notebook on the River View Platform for visitors to record nature observations, sketches, and notes. We have added that and have had some wonderful comments.
Below you will find many of those comments and more. Hope you enjoy. We sure have.
We had a beautiful girls walk this morning after dropping the kids off to school. Just enjoying each others company and nature! Love this little place.
Thank You for a beautiful morning walk and keeping the magic alive for future generations!

Came here for a simple walk was excited to see such a beautiful area you have created. Well done and Thank You. You brought such joy. God Bless!
Thank You for building this. I am learning how to love myself & enjoy coming to this place.
Great quick trail. Park at the church across the street. We brought our pocket stroller and was some what difficult to push through the rocks and dirt path, but still managed. There’s places to sit in front of the river and a small area for the little ones to play.
Thank you for creating a beautiful and natural place to enjoy God's creation!
Wonderful place to visit. Even better if you have children with you.
We came here from Georgia bc of a mix up with an airbb rental in Franklin NC. We had never been to Townsend, TN. We have fallen totally for it!! Thanks your for the sweet, peaceful walk among the trees. Our grandchildren enjoyed checkers as we watched inflatable rafts go down the river sitting on the bench. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
Love always,
The Hollaway Family
This peaceful walk gave us some much needed family time while we were in town visiting.
The birds, the river, the "off trail" cave, and all the marked plants are wonderful.
My in-laws liked this bench and might come back some mornings to enjoy.
Thank you,
