South Chickamauga Creek Greenway

bridge is still closed.

August, 2026 by fastnigel

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

Tennessee Riverwalk

closure is on the camp Jordan side

August, 2026 by fastnigel

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.

Tennessee Riverwalk

great paved trail.

August, 2026 by fastnigel

I’ve been here three times over the summer to ride it with my kids. We have electric scooters. There are multiple parks and stops along the way to make a great day of riding and making memories! We love coming to Chattanooga from Birmingham to enjoy a day and have a mini vacation.

Really great trail. Also had trouble navigating and could have used more signs and directions. Tons of bathrooms!

Maryville-Alcoa Greenway

Went to Maryville and walked probably 1.5 miles of the trail. It was very clean and easy. The kids loved it!

Maryville-Alcoa Greenway

Confusing Map

June, 2026 by cgambrell81

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.

Gatlinburg Trail (Great Smoky Mountains National Park)

For Nature Lovers

June, 2026 by andekat

This is a lovely ride, mostly adjacent to the water with many shaded places to stop and appreciate the views and sounds of nature. Much of the trail is gravel (enough to be bumpy), and the dirt surfaces would be very muddy after a rain. There are a few inclines that we easily managed with our e-bikes, and while there were a lot of walkers, we had no issues sharing the space. You won’t want to ride fast anyway - it’s worth taking it slow to appreciate the setting!

Tweetsie Trail

The trail from the Johnson City isn't bad albeit mainly downhill until you get to G Street in Elizabethton... Once in Elizabethton the ride sucks due to numerous road crossing, dis-courteous drivers who park in the cross hatches.

Maryville-Alcoa Greenway

very nice trail could use a little better signage

April, 2026 by sherri.bush

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.

Mountain Goat Trail

Tennessee Riverwalk

disappointed

February, 2026 by jdietz4361

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.

Cades Cove Loop Road

pretty ride in the GSMNP

January, 2026 by carolhesse83

It’s ideal to ride this on the car free days. It can get a bit crowded at peak times in the day, but more sparse early or late in the day. Beautiful views and wildlife frequently seen. 5/5
