Discover Memphis naturally and experience activities you don't typically find in a city in the South. You can rent or ride your own bike from the river to the eastern edge of the city, exploring colorful neighborhoods and iconic parks — including Shelby Farms Park, one of the largest urban parks in the country. Discover downtown's riverfront parks for views of the Mississippi River (the newly transformed Tom Lee Park is a must),
plus features like pedestrian paths — including a bridge walk over the Mississippi known as Big River Crossing. You'll also discover creative playgrounds and kayak guides and rentals so you can explore the river up close. Within 20 minutes of downtown Memphis, you can also find — surprise! — Shelby Forest State Park, with epic hills for hiking and mountain biking.
Memphis is where urban exploration and outdoor adventure meet. Go for it with these outdoor activity suggestions.
