Mountain Bike
The single-track trail leaves the northern end of the parking area between the railroad track and cove. The trails roll and weave through hardwoods, cedars, and pines. The southern section of trails consists of several loops of 1 to 2 miles. The outermost northern loop has some steep berms. There is a new 2.8 miles of steep trail on the south side of the park via a bridge constructed by Knox County. From the trail head it's about 1.5 miles to the new bridge. There are some technical switchbacks on the 5 climbs of this section (cumulative climb 800 feet). These bike trails were developed by volunteers in cooperation with Knox County Courtesy of Singletracks.com
