Knoxville Mountain Bike Trail Conditions
Knoxville's Urban Wilderness put a genuine trail system inside the city — Baker Creek's jump lines and gravity trails, Hastie, and the connected ridge-and-quarry country south of the river. It is a national model for what a city can build. The tread is clay and shale over rolling knobs, quick to firm up on the ridges and slow in the hollows.
