Eureka Trail

Eureka Trail

excellent trail

January, 2023 by sgc715

Amazing trail for biking or running. Beautiful 11 miles round trip. Be aware of dogs off leach but it is to expect in the middle of the country. The dogs we encounter were not aggressive so no big deal.

Wilderness Road Trail

Very Nice!

August, 2022 by allanray121

I biked the entire trail today; both ways. One has to know a little bit about the history of the area to really appreciate this trail, but even if you are not a history buff, the scenery and farmland is well worth the ride. My only complaint is that there is no history of the old railroad itself to be found anywhere along the trail. There really needs to be a plaque/marker at each end of the trail telling they history of the old railroad grade. I saw

Townsend Historical Trail

"Trail" next to a highway

July, 2022 by rcsauce

The "trail" is pavement and mostly right next to the highway. We chose to cross the bridge at the end and ride Old Walland Hwy which had light traffic. The road rolled a little and had some pot holes as it stayed mostly next to the river.

As for the "Trail" it-self, it would a better representation of a Trail if there was vegetation on both sides.

Over all mostly a road ride but not an unpleasant day.

Wilderness Road Trail

Cool ride with tree cover and bison viewing!

June, 2022 by marylouwassel

Really enjoyed this easy pastoral ride down shady tree covered trail. Parked at wilderness trail state park visitor center with welcoming staff, clean restrooms, and picnic tables in shade to relax after. Big bonus was seeing bisons and their 4 week old baby. Highly recommend.

Eureka Trail

Quiet, well maintained, Athens Trailhead amazing

May, 2022 by lucinda.f.peters

The trail is well maintained, very wide, shady, and offers a beautiful ride. We rode bicycles and the gravel was compact making for a nice trip. Lovely scenery with quiet surroundings with sounds of birds & water ¿. The Athens Trailhead has an extremely nice parking area with restrooms. Bicycle maintenance station is available too. ¿. We were disappointed with the horse droppings on the trail. It only seems fair that horse owners clean up after themselves given dog owners do the same.

Veterans Boulevard Greenway

It’s Ok

May, 2022 by melissacamire

Not so great if you are expecting a bike trail that’s scenic. This runs the length of a major road. 3 lanes most of the ride. It was more of riding down a sidewalk.

Melton Lake Greenway

one of the best paved trail in Knoxville

May, 2022 by digitalpubs

This is my go to bike path. I start at Haw Ridge and ride to Elza Gate - 6miles one way. Great round trip ride! Very pretty scenery and some challenging hills.

Maryville-Alcoa Greenway

Blount County Courthouse to Pearson Springs Park

March, 2022 by lucinda.f.peters

Trail route included crossing Lamar Alexander and Montvale Rd. Traffic was respectful on both roads. Caution needed. Will park at the church next time. After crossing montvale and entering greenway to the parks, it was lovely seeing ducks, a heron, and bustling creek beside the greenway. There were alot of people on the trail.
