Overall nice trail. Some bumps with tree roots through the blacktop and some patch jobs.
Very nice trail, minimal parking, but meant more for walking. Very busy with walkers.
Just read a bridge is closed on greenway. Wish somehow this app was able to show updates on its trail map.
This was our first trail to try out our Ebikes. We parked at Smith Park and got on the trail. It is paved and well maintained. There is a restroom along the way. There are a few bridges and tunnels. The trail is marked where there are sharp curves. As we got closer to the part that passes by the YMCA the trail got more crowded with walkers etc. But we just went slow. We enjoyed it. Saw a deer.
The map is not very understandable if u r not local. Use Apple maps to locate the actual trail head. This gave us an address that was a super short preserve trail and AllTrails did the same. So load and inload the ebikes on a 93 degree day with no shade was not fun. Finally found the trailhead. I use a dog trailer for my pup so I do not like street riding and had no real idea where to go but went both directions from the park, each way until it was all urban, next to a busy street one way and a lovely neighborhood the other way but to hot to ride too far out of the shade. With the dog, just looking for long shady paths. Would have like to explore mire. Maybe next time in the fall.
The Townsend trail is all paved, wide enough for 2 bikes to pass each other. I take my dog in a trailer behind my ebike. The trail is on both sides of the road. The one on the right side is further away from the road and more hilly. The one on the left side has more road noise, once u get away from the river. It is the side with all the businesses on it so lots for driveway bumps. You can connect to the other side by 2 different bike tunnels so u don’t have to cross the road. We rode on a Thursday so traffic was so so but enough to make up want to ride the other side. Not a very interesting trail but nice enough.
Easy peasant ride. All paved on both sides of the road. Nice spots to stop, shop, eat and drink. Close to Cades Cove and entrance to Smoky Mountains. Worth the visit.
We rode the entire pathway, starting at the northern dam site. This is one of the most enjoyable, varied, and well maintained routes we've ridden! The entire route is well done, with light poles the entire way, elevated sections or bridges thru all types of natural areas (instead of around), and many parks or trailside restrooms. Whether thru parks, alongside the highway, or even past industrial businesses, the trail is landscaped O meadow-scaped), the path is smooth, and
The trail is fair for a greenway trail. Not all that scenic, but if you are looking for a quick short ride ( about 6 miles), this may work. However note that the bridge is currently washed out cutting off the last mile or so of the trail.
The bridge is out by patriot park so the trail is now only about .8 miles long, and it is not very well marked
We loved the trail and rode it round trip multiple times to train for our Katy trail tour. We and our bikes got really dusty and dirty, but that wasn’t a big deal. Do be careful at the traffic crossings.
