The Lucius E. Burch, Jr. Class I Scenic-Recreational State Natural Area offers a collection of multi-use trails just south of Shelby Farms Park. These paths on the eastern side of the property are easily distinguishable from the other trails in the network. These paths really hug the Wolf River and feature multiple wooden footbridges that cross back and forth other the water.

This section of path makes up part of the loop portion of the Tour de Wolf Trail. The Tour de Wolf Trail is one of the most popular paths within the park and covers 6 miles total. The trail can be accessed from a couple different parking areas and leads to this section of trail, which loops around a few hidden ponds on paths open to bikes, runners, and hikers.

The Wolf River Trail Blue stays a bit further up on the hillside away from the water compared to the neighboring Wolf River Trail Yellow. This is a popular mountain biking, hiking, and trail running trail used for looping back to the eastern trailheads.

The Wolf River Trail Yellow is one of a few different paths in the Lucias E. Burch Jr. State Natural Area. The path is a popular spot for both cyclists and foot-traffic, and it follows the river pretty much the entire time. You can do this path as an out-and-back, or you can loop onto one of the other trails on the property.

Pine Lake is a small reservoir just off the side of the Chickasaw Trail. The view from the trail is a good excuse for a break, and you can even start and finish your walk close to here at one of the park's main parking lots.

Hyde Lake is a beautiful reservoir right in the middle of Shelby Farms Park. There is a completely paved path that circles around the water that is popular amongst runners, walkers, and cyclists, and there is a separate commuter trail that also offers access to the loop trail. There are multiple parking areas around the lake that offer access to the paved trail.

A good stretch of traffic free tarmac path for cyclists and walkers. Perfect for cycling away from the busy traffic and having more time to take it all in.

If you want to rent a paddle boat and head out on the water, you'll want to head for this little lake, part of 4,500-acre Shelby Farms Park in the heart of Memphis. There are also more than 10 miles of walking and running trails in the park.
