The Wolf River Greenway is a corridor of protected green space along the Wolf River which includes a paved pathway for non-motorized transportation. Built in sections, this 10-foot wide pathway will eventually extend a total of 30 miles to connect neighborhoods all the way from downtown Memphis through the cities of Germantown and Collierville, Tennessee.

In accordance with patterns established by other developed greenways across the country, the Wolf River Greenway will help to connect people and communities, raise property values, reduce crime, encourage healthy lifestyles, and improve the general quality of life in adjacent neighborhoods. Meandering along the banks of the Wolf River, this scenic greenway will be a centerpiece for the transformation of the Mid-South into a 21st century community, allowing users to experience the natural beauty of bottomland hardwood forests and wetlands, and to visit local shops and cafes along the way via multiple access points. The Wolf River Greenway will also intersect with other area trail systems including the Shelby Farms Greenline, providing visitors with a link to the largest urban park in the United States.

The initial phase of the project, completed in 2010, runs from Walnut Grove Road to Shady Grove Road along the southern bank of the Wolf River. Construction of the second phase began on October 3, 2011, and will connect the first phase with the Germantown City Greenway system. Because progress on the Wolf River Greenway is contingent upon land acquisition and fundraising, all plans for future segments remain conceptual only. Please check this website and our social media pages for up-to-date progress on further Wolf River Greenway sections and land acquisitions as they develop.

The Wolf River Greenway project is being managed by the Wolf River Conservancy with partnerships between government, business, community groups and non-profits as well as private donors and foundations.
