BICYCLE TOURS

Join a ranger for guided bicycle tours of Stones River National Battlefield on select Saturdays in the spring and fall. Get healthy exercise, reduce your carbon footprint, and learn about the major Civil War battle that occurred here in late 1862 and early 1863. This program will take visitors through the battlefield using the tour road and the Stones River Greenway.

Visitors aged 16 and under must wear helmets. We encourage all participants to wear helmets and bring a water bottle. This is a 5-mile plus ride with a moderate pace and is not recommended for children under the age of 10.

The tour begins at the park visitor center. Check our calendar for tour dates.
