Since the program began, hundreds of people have earned pins through more than 4,000 check-ins at local businesses and attractions. A handful of dedicated explorers have completed every trail.
What they’re saying
Clarksville Resident Kimberly Reyes earned her 18th Challenge Trail Pin in June 2024. She shared, “My family and I were able to see just how BIG Clarksville is and the deep, rich history that belongs to her. We also learned and went to places that we didn’t know about or might not have went to see on our own had I not had the Visit Clarksville App with the Challenge Trails.”
Debi Tice who visited from Texas in the summer of 2025 said, “My nephews and I had an absolutely wonderful time together while visiting these places in Clarksville! Thank you for the opportunity to share some memories with my family!!”
How it works
- Download the free VisitClarksvilleTN mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
- Open the app and select the Trails icon. Choose a trail and check in at the required number of locations (about half of the stops on the trail).
- There’s no time limit to complete a trail. Some participants finish several trails in a weekend, while others explore a few locations each month.
- Once the required check-ins are completed, users earn a Challenge Badge in the app. Visit Clarksville will email participants to collect a mailing address to send their earned pin(s), or pins can be picked up at the Clarksville Visitor Center (335 Franklin St.) during regular business hours.
