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.
The bridge is out by patriot park so the trail is now only about .8 miles long, and it is not very well marked
The trail itself is a definite 5-star experience—beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for exploring with kids. The bridges and the walk along the river were serene and made for a fun adventure. However, I’m giving it 4 stars due to the parking situation. It was a bit tricky to find a spot, but once we figured it out and luckily found a quieter area near one of the less crowded trail entrances, the rest of the visit was fantastic.
I walked this trail yesterday, and it was one of the most magical experiences. I brought my dog along, and he was able to cool off with a dip in the water when he started to get too hot. I highly recommend this trail to anyone looking for a peaceful, paved, path shaded by trees, with beautiful views of the water.
We love walking this trail. You have the quiet walk in the woods. Wide paths. We walk through thr woods and then walk by the water and around the outside loop. One of our go to places to walk.
This is a great trail for working off your winter fluff - it is challenging in areas with hills which for those of us who spent the winter either shoveling snow or hibernating (me) came as a surprise! The trail itself is paved with asphalt or concrete slabs. The asphalt areas have tree roots humps and bumps accompanied with a couple heaves. The poured concrete slabs were in decent shape. The trail goes alongside Melton Lake - pretty early spring views from the bluff. Many people were out enjoying the warm temps and the crew teams were out on the water. I
I went on a Saturday in the beginning of September (mid morning) and it was barely crowded. Perfect for me for my long run. I did have to ask someone for directions just to make sure I was on the right track to Alcoa. I guess the only time I got confused was when it travels over 411 and there isn’t a lot of signage to tell where the trail goes next. Other than that it was perfect for me!!! I felt generally safe, as being a woman who was running by herself. There isn’t a TON of hills, but there are more just condensed in certain areas
Signage is minimal at best. Surface is nice and so are the bridges. Good amount of traffic with walkers, runners, dogs and bikers. I had my bike and found it difficult to find my way around due to lack of signage. It was my first time on this trail and I am sure the local users enjoy it, but for me it will be better next time (if there is one).
The Veterans Boulevard greenway in Sevierville is no more than an extra large sidewalk…on the side of a busy highway. It’s very unpleasant to ride with lots of traffic whizzing by. There is also nowhere to park at the trailhead, so the best options put a rider having to navigate some busy intersections and impatient drivers. However, there is a connection to another trail at the intersection with Middle Creek Road and although it isn’t very long it is at least pleasant. Also, the cover image for this trail is incorrect. That bridge is nowhere to be seen on this trail.
This is a 0.3 mile long, 8' wide asphalt paved offset 50' and parallel to a public road. To call this a "greenway" is a bit silly.
Loved this trail for biking! We started at the Clayton Disc Golf course and rode to the Waterfront Bar & Grill for a bite to eat before heading back! Be sure to look for the Gnome House along the way!
