Site Description: Peeler Park has several miles of paved greenway paths that travel along the Cumberland River, through mixed hardwood forests, and fields. The greenway attracts runners and walkers, but the variety of habitats make the park very interesting for bird watching.

Wildlife to Watch: A variety of common resident birds can be seen, including Northern Cardinals, Carolina Wrens, and Blue Jays. Ruby-crowned Kinglets and Winter Wrens can be found in winter. Bald Eagles are seen occasionally year round. A small Great Blue Heron rookery (2 nests in 2009) is along the river just off the greenway approximately 200m from the parking lot.
