Cheatham County Scenic Byway

Cheatham County's scenic rural roads offer some of the most beautiful and low-traffic driving and cycling in Middle Tennessee. Routes like Highway 12, Old Clarksville Pike, and Chapmansboro Road wind through rolling hills, working farms, dense forests, and alongside the Cumberland River corridor, providing a peaceful alternative to busier highways and a genuine sense of the county's rural character. For cyclists, these backroads offer smooth rides with manageable elevation changes and minimal traffic — ideal for both casual riders and more experienced road cyclists looking for a longer excursion. For drivers, the same routes offer a slow, scenic way to experience Cheatham County beyond its parks and attractions.
