Gatlinburg Greenway

Don't bother

April, 2024 by jme_cox

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.

Maryville-Alcoa Greenway

Visiting from Ohio

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!

Townsend Historical Trail

Nice trail that you can easily add on to

September, 2023 by mailtobark

Nice trail through Townsend area. Paved, some ups and downs but no hard climbs. Not a whole lot to see really. Restaurant near north end has good food. You can take the bike underpass at the north end, cross under the four lane and then cross the small river and pick up the road on the left along the river. Take that through Walland all the way to the intersection with Ellejoy road. This is a nice ride along the river with minimal traffic and only one hill at Walland. There is a parking lot just across the intersection on Ellejoy road. I ve parked there, pedaled to the end of the trail in Townsend and back.

Wilderness Road Trail

Very nice trail!

September, 2023 by mandy.smith2020

This is one of the best trails we have ever went on. It is a beautiful, flat, easy, shaded trail. SO much history. Stop at the park and check out the fort, they have people in there dressed up and making things. Very neat to see! There are picnic tables along the trail if you want to pack a lunch. There is also a buffalo viewing area. I can’t say enough good things about this trail. My group loved it!

green and serene!

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!

Wilderness Road Trail

Easy Trail

June, 2023 by hippykamp

If you are in the area then load up the bikes and ride it. Pretty much flat trail that is for the most part shaded. Park at either end and ride out and back. Don’t forget to stop and see the visitor center and the homestead recreation and especially the buffalo

Riverwalk Greenway (Pigeon Forge)

Nice Trail

June, 2023 by hippykamp

Nice trail in the middle of Pigeon Forge. We like to park and start at the library. Most people don’t even know it’s there so it’s seldom crowded. Some congestion wit tourist and cars around The Island but that’s about it. I definitely recommend it for a Nice break from the hustle and bustle of Sevier County
