Rode the trail today a few times back-and-forth back-and-forth to get a few miles in. Beautiful river with the roar of the water and the roar of the trucks on the highway. Leaves covering the trail in a few spots so it could be slippery. Great parking at both ends. We did take a rod on our second trip around and did a few casts the access spots, but didn’t get anything.
Very peaceful trail with an occasional visit by deer & turkeys. A really peaceful walk.
Dropped in at Gibson station and tried to ride towards Cumberland gap. It was a no go very quickly because the trail is no longer maintained by the national park.........Budget cuts! We were riding on overgrown grasses/weeds which is no fun at all! Turned around and rode towards Wilderness Road State Park. Lovely ride in the shade with just a few spots that were wet from the heavy rains from the last few days. August 14 was hot and humid with some mosquitoes along the trail! Did a few loops in Wilderness Rd., State Park where they were having some actual reenactments back in the fort! All in all lovely country views. The buffalo were in the corner right next to the trail...sat at the picnic table and watched them chew! There was a new calf! eat all get
Overall nice trail. Some bumps with tree roots through the blacktop and some patch jobs.
Very nice trail, minimal parking, but meant more for walking. Very busy with walkers.
The map is not very understandable if u r not local. Use Apple maps to locate the actual trail head. This gave us an address that was a super short preserve trail and AllTrails did the same. So load and inload the ebikes on a 93 degree day with no shade was not fun. Finally found the trailhead. I use a dog trailer for my pup so I do not like street riding and had no real idea where to go but went both directions from the park, each way until it was all urban, next to a busy street one way and a lovely neighborhood the other way but to hot to ride too far out of the shade. With the dog, just looking for long shady paths. Would have like to explore mire. Maybe next time in the fall.
The Townsend trail is all paved, wide enough for 2 bikes to pass each other. I take my dog in a trailer behind my ebike. The trail is on both sides of the road. The one on the right side is further away from the road and more hilly. The one on the left side has more road noise, once u get away from the river. It is the side with all the businesses on it so lots for driveway bumps. You can connect to the other side by 2 different bike tunnels so u don’t have to cross the road. We rode on a Thursday so traffic was so so but enough to make up want to ride the other side. Not a very interesting trail but nice enough.
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.
A few soft sandy spots where the trail has had fresh crushed gravel brought in, but a nice easy ride. 2 first time riders, 2 mediocre riders, 2 kid trailers. Visitor center is very nice
The bridge is out by patriot park so the trail is now only about .8 miles long, and it is not very well marked
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.
