We started from the harbor freight parking lot and hit the trail there and made it all the way into Chattanooga. Nice trail! We were on electric scooters
The rest of the trail is open. We started at the entrance at Harbor Freight and rode the rest of the trail all the way into Chattanooga and to the entrance near the new ball park.
Really great trail. Also had trouble navigating and could have used more signs and directions. Tons of bathrooms!
Went to Maryville and walked probably 1.5 miles of the trail. It was very clean and easy. The kids loved it!
We got on at Sandy Springs Park. It was a nice ride until you got to route 336. Between 336 and Bicentennial Park it was hard navigating. Need more signs!! If I did it again I would start at Bicentennial Park and head north. We did not make it all the way North but not all that traffic and confusion like on the southern end. Not congested at all. It was paved all the way. It was a good ride but for lack of signs. It was a nice ride on the southern end until you got to Route 336. I would give it a 4.5.
Rode the trail this morning. It is a little confusing as it has several small trails, branching off to dead ends. The trail was well maintained the bridges were nice. The traffic was light. I’m sure I’ll be returning.
We were looking forward to this ride a long time as reviews rate it highly. For us it was quite the opposite. The trail did have its moments and from the start looked very promising, however those moments were short and far in between. The first of the issues were the trail closures with no notice at trail heads or reroutes. You merely run into a blockage where your only option is to turn around load up your bikes, go a couple of miles to the next bike parking, unload, ride a couple of miles and hit another trail block. Second issue, the trail is poorly marked. We literally spent more time trying to find our way through Chattanooga than riding our bikes. Trail Link helped but what a mess. I can’t imagine riding this trail in peak season as it was, our ride early Feb, 50 deg late morning saw many pedestrian obstacles. Chattanooga is a busy place, a nice city to be sure along with that comes constant traffic noise.
Park by the outdoor barn or the farm center on the map. There’s a dog park nearby. The quarry has beautiful views and is worth the hike.
Nicely maintained, very shady. Straight and little to no grade. Makes for a peaceful easy bike ride.
amazing hike and great views with perfect place for swimming
Very peaceful trail with an occasional visit by deer & turkeys. A really peaceful walk.
