Flat Rock Cedar Glades and Barrens Flat Rock Cedar Glade and Barrens is an 846-acre natural area in Rutherford County. It is located about eight miles east of Murfreesboro, Tennessee in the geographic center of the Central Basin. Flat Rock supports a mosaic of forest types, oak barrens, open grassland barrens, and cedar glades, including federal and state-listed plant species and glade endemic species. These glades are characterized by exposed limestone that is typically interspersed with cedar-oak-hickory forest that occurs in deeper soils. This limestone, with its many sinkholes, is a karst topography commonly associated with glades.

Flat Rock Cedar Glades and Barrens support a diversity of annual grasses, including sporobolus and aristida. Rare plants associated with these cedar glades include Tennessee milk-vetch (Astragalus tennesseensis), Missouri primrose (Oenothera missouriensis), and limestone fame-flower (Talinum calcaricum). Small creek tributaries and flat gravelly wash areas provide specialized habitat for rare plants, including the federally endangered leafy prairie-clover (Dalea foliosa), the state-listed yellow sunnybells (Schoenolirion croceum), low nut rush (Scleria verticillata), and Boykin's milkwort (Polygala boykinii). Little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) and cedar trees occur in pockets of deep soil scattered across the glades. Open grassland barrens found in deeper soils are dominated by little bluestem and side-oats grama (Bouteloua curtipendula). Flat Rock barrens support numerous state-listed species, including wavy-leaf purple coneflower (Echinacea simulata), southern prairie-dock (Silphium pinnatifidum) and slender blazing-star (Liatris cylindracea). These same species occur in the open canopy post oak forest areas referred to as an "oak barrens." Flat Rock is also significant as the type location for the federally listed Pyne's ground-plum (Astragalus bibullatus).

Flat Rock Cedar Glades and Barrens is one of Tennessee's most ecologically significant natural areas and is an important research natural area. It is located only a few miles from Middle Tennessee State University.
