Memphis Nature Locations
Spending a lot of time outdoors in the fresh air has innumerable health benefits, along with reducing stress and anxiety and promoting peace of mind. If you’re local to Memphis here is my list of favorite places to hike and explore nature. Spring is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors, and during these stressful and uncertain times, it has never been a better time to get out into nature! (Be sure to check and see if a location is still open).
