So many trails, so little time.
The following are brief descriptions (plus maps and pictures) of various
East Tennessee mountain bike rides. The rides range in difficulty from a
"ride in the park" to wilderness adventures. Popular mountain biking
rides in the Knoxville area are Panther Creek, Norris, Lone Mountain,
and Haw Ridge. Here is a map of East Tenn. (135K) indicating where some
of these places are, more or less. (Or, on a 3-D topo map (400K)). We
have GPS waypoints (.gpx), maps, and driving directions for some of the
trail heads at trail-head parking.
These pages describe ridable trails/roads over the last dozen years or
so. Some trails/roads may be closed due to Mother Nature or new access
restrictions. Please obey posted signs. Be aware of hunting seasons and
try not to look like a deer. Check TWRA's Fall state hunt schedule
(Units A and B, see TWRA state units map) and WMA hunt schedule. Also
the Oak Ridge reservation is closed for fall hunts, see the Oak Ridge
Reservation hunt page.

Maps
Local bike stores may have maps and current access information. USGS
quads can help with topography, but trails and jeep roads depicted on
these maps often do not represent current conditions. USGS quadrangles
can be obtained at hiking stores, map stores (Omni), and from the TVA
map store (800-627-7882). Delorme's 3-D Topo Quads have USGS
quardrangles on CDs with GPS support, as does Maptech's
TerrainNavigator. mapquest and terraserver, and maptech have topos
online. County maps may be of use for Wildlife Management Areas and
general directions. You can get Wildlife Management Area maps at
tnwildlifefoundation.org. Delorme's Tennessee Atlas & Gazetteer includes
coarse topographic information and is available at book stores. David
Moore's book Tennessee Mountain Bike Adventures has trail descriptions
and maps for many areas of Tennessee. Also, see Parham's book Off the
Beaten Track: Mountain Biking in Eastern Tennessee. And in 2009, see
Colquitt/Livengood book on mountain biking in TN, Off Road Trails. Also
see mountain biking books.
