Description:
From the Johnson City Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization Website (www.jcmpo.org/bike.htm): The Cities of Johnson City and Elizabethton are developing dedicated bicycle and multipurpose paths as part of corridor and greenway projects.

In Johnson City, a 2-mile path parallels the recently completed State of Franklin Road bypass (SR 381) between Sunset Drive and Greenline Road. Scenic views are abundant along this route.

In Elizabethton, a 4-mile greenway corridor is under development that connects Sycamore Shoals State Park with the Historic Covered Bridge in the downtown area.

Funding for major portions of these projects is from the Transportation Enhancements Program operated by the Tennessee Department of Transportation. For location maps of both routes, see the Trail Website (www.jcmpo.org/bike.htm).

The Tennessee Department of Transportation has also designated bike routes statewide, largely on existing roadways. For more information about state bike routes, contact the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Attn: Bicycle Coordinator, Suite 700, James K. Polk Building, Nashville, TN 37243-0349.

A good start

"I often cycle parts of the Johnson City Greenbelt as it is close to my house and I can use it in starting my longer rides and also safely for trip commuting. I think the City has done a good job with this facility and more people of all ages and abilities ought to get out and use it. I wish there were more shade on it, but I have seen some wildlife (wild turkeys!)among the wooded areas. Soon it and other trails in our area will be described in the Regional Plan of Greenways and Trails of the Southern Appalachian Greenways Alliance (SAGA) "
