BIKING
Bikes are allowed on paved roads throughout Henry Horton State Park, including the Henry Horton Greenway. Bikes are not allowed on the trails, but the parks serves as the starting point for a variety of great road biking experiences.
Henry Horton State Park is host to a two-day 100+ mile bike ride each year that begins and ends at the park. This event is called the Horton 100 and offers cyclists to experience the best of what Middle Tennessee has to offer from the prime vantage point of a bike seat. .

BIRDING
Habitats range from limestone cedar glades to mature deciduous forests interspersed with fields and young woodlands. The Duck River, recognized as one of the most biodiverse in the country, bisects the park and is accessible from the Wilhoite Mill Trail, the Adeline Wilhoite Horton River Trail and the river access in the picnic loop. Herons hunt for fish in the shallows while belted kingfishers fly over. Paved roadways wind past grasslands behind the inn and restaurant and along the tree-lined Duck River. Barn owls may be heard from trees here during winter and spring evenings. Turkey, black vultures and red-tailed hawks soar above open areas.
The Adeline Wilhoite Horton River Trail traverses cedar glade and old field habitats, especially good spots for brown thrasher, common yellowthroat, and yellow-breasted chat. The trail features a 20-foot observation tower that overlooks a large native grassland and wetland. From here, ducks, song sparrows, and wild turkey can be seen, while in nearby woods, winter residents such as ruby and golden-crowned kinglets and hermit thrush occur alongside the common Carolina chickadee, white-breasted nuthatch, and barred owl. During spring and fall migration, a variety of wood warblers present an exciting birding challenge. Over 70 species of birds have been observed throughout the year. For more locations, VIEW FLYER.

DISC GOLF
There is an 18 hole disc golf course inside the park that is free to the public. With level terrain and well defined fairways, this is one of the best disc golf courses in Tennessee.

FISHING
The Duck River provides catches of Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Redeye, and catfish. Fishing can be very good from the banks as well as by small boats. Some areas provide excellent opportunities for flyfishing.

GOLFING
Greens Renovation Project is complete and the course is open.
Improvements to the greens include replacing the bent grass with Champion Bermuda. The greens have been recontoured to provide challenging and fun hole locations. We are taking tee times from 9:00 AM through 1:00 PM daily. We are charging "Winter Rates" due to the newness of the greens and several are not yet completely filled in. The contouring of the greens came out perfectly and our driving range has six new synthetic mats and hitting stations for winter and inclement weather use. We hope these improvements will enhance your golfing experience at Henry Horton and look forward to seeing you in the fall. For additional information, please contact Neil Collins PGA Head Professional and Golf Course Manager at Neil.Collins@TN.Gov.
The Buford Ellington championship golf course at Henry Horton State Park measures 5,625 yards from the Forward tees and 7,020 yards from the Championship tees. This challenging course is heavily treed with hardwoods and contains 37 bunkers. Although the length may scare some golfers away, the fairways are generous in width and the greens larger than average. There are three sets of tees to accommodate every skill level and a friendly staff waiting to ensure an enjoyable round of golf.
