Rides Bays Mountain Park - This park, located in Kingsport, is one of the most popular riding spots in the area. Approximately 15 miles of trails are open to bikes. The riding is mostly non-technical making it a good choice for beginner riders. Moderately diffiicult climbs and fast downhills also make the trails fun for more experienced riders.
Bays is also a good choice during wet weather.
Buffalo is part of the Cherokee National Forest and is located in south Johnson City. You'll find lots of climbing, fast descents, sandy berms, and scenic views of Unaka Mountain and the valley of Unicoi County. Casual riders can enjoy the scenery around the lake on flat dirt paths while the more advanced can venture into the technical singletrack of the knobs. In our opinion this is some of the best riding in the Southeast. Some of the popular rides include the Virginia Creeper Trail and the Beartree campground area .
