Bike Tennessee Expands

The Tennessee Department of Tourist Development has launched mountain biking routes through its Bike Tennessee program, adding a new phase to the state’s existing road and gravel cycling routes. Developed in collaboration with the Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association, the expansion features 11 mountain biking hubs with 76 trails across Tennessee.

The addition of mountain biking routes, alongside the already established road and gravel routes, brings the total Bike Tennessee collection to 165 routes available statewide. The curated collection of mountain bike trail systems offers a range of trail types and difficulty levels, from beginner to advanced, with experiences spanning interconnected urban trail networks to sprawling backcountry adventures.
