Eureka Trail

Beautiful and dusty!

April, 2025 by digitalpubs

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.

Nantahala Bikeway

Must try! :)

April, 2025 by vanessateresaseitz

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.

Little Tennessee River Greenway

Great little trail but a few spots are unpaved.

November, 2024 by susancnett

This is a nice trail that runs beside and crosses over the river. Most of the trail is paved, but parts were not paved or were perhaps covered in sand and dirt. (Hence the 4-star rating.) I am unsure if it is always this way or a result of the recent Hurricane that passed this way. (Fall 2024).

I was impressed with the number of benches along the trail and the great signs helping us know where to go. One portion (in Franklin) runs through an unpaved parking lot behind some stores. At first, we were confused but then we saw a sign explaining where to go to get back to the trail.

Also in Franklin is a small "Women's History Park" with a statue and plaques explaining the park and the statue. It was worth the time to look and read.

There are also some cafes and restaurants in that area so you can enjoy a quick coffee or a more relaxed meal.

Being autumn, there was a lot of "tree debris" on sections of the path but overall this was a nice path that we hope to enjoy again.

Big Creek Greenway

Lots of boardwalk on southern end

October, 2024 by evada

Pleasant trail through wooded marshlands, but the southern end (from about 3 mi. north of Fowler Park south) is largely boardwalk, which a bit dicey for thin-tired road bikes. Also, as of 10/2024 a bridge was closed at about 3.5 miles north of Fowler Park.

Worth the ride, super shady.

Big Creek Greenway

Nice Trail

April, 2024 by paulstgermain

We’re from Charlotte, we have a trail similar to Big Creek (Sugar Creek), not nearly as long…we really enjoyed our ride and look forward to coming back.

Little Tennessee River Greenway

excellent greenway

October, 2023 by tinalivingston108

Graveled roads as well as paved. Reminded me of the creeper as well as Chattanooga greenway combined. I would recommend this greenway …absolutely gorgeous!! Wish it could be longer. We rode 11 miles, but it’s so beautiful, you could ride it twice.

Little Tennessee River Greenway

Nice Trail

August, 2023 by heathersmith_tl

9 miles out and back. If you do the circle at the end, you can get to 10. Mostly paved with some gravel/dirt sections. But beware! Several areas where it looks like it might be easier but you end up in a parking lot or dead end and have to go back.

Nantahala Bikeway

green and serene!

July, 2023 by vkgtpfzrgr

mellow, beautifully paved and short trail perfect after a long drive on winding roads. Good place to watch the ww rafters start their adventure. Next time, we plan to join!

Little Tennessee River Greenway

Worst bicycle trail we have ridden on. Partly paved then turned into gravel then into dirt. Trail is not marked and several times we went the wrong way and had to turn around. When we reached the end we had no idea which way to go, NO SIGNS

Big Creek Greenway

Take care at Union Hill intersection

April, 2023 by frtck45

Had a great ride today. However the crosswalk at the Union Hill intersection is very dangerous. In spite of the fact there are numerous signs alerting cars of the crosswalk including flashing signals, we witnessed numerous cars flying through the intersection oblivious to the fact we were waiting to cross. Do not assume the drivers will stop.
