This easy touring cycling route, connecting UT/Downtown to the West Hills and Cedar Bluff Areas, offers a delightful journey through Knoxville's greenway system. You'll glide along predominantly paved paths, winding through serene wooded environments and alongside natural water courses, particularly on the Third Creek Greenway. The Sequoyah Greenway section provides picturesque views of rolling hills and historic homes, making for a varied and engaging ride that feels far removed from city bustle at times.
Planning your ride is straightforward, as this route is accessible year-round, though spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures and vibrant scenery. The greenway system provides excellent connectivity, linking downtown Knoxville with the West Hills and Cedar Bluff areas, making it a convenient option for both recreation and local travel. While mostly on dedicated paths, be prepared for a few sections where you might share the road or sidewalk with traffic.
This 13.1-mile (21.1 km) route, with a gentle 461 feet (140 metres) of elevation gain, is considered easy and typically takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete. It's a prime example of Knoxville's extensive greenway network, offering a popular and family-friendly cycling experience. Along the way, you can spot local wildlife and pass by points of interest like the historic James White Fort, adding a touch of history to your outdoor adventure.
