Scenic views are abundant along this route. In Elizabethton, a 4-mile greenway corridor is under development that connects Sycamore Shoals State Park with the Historic Covered Bridge in the downtown area. Funding for major portions of these projects is from the STP Enhancements Program operated by the Tennessee Department of Transportation. For location maps of both routes, see the pictures below. The Tennessee Department of Transportation has also designated bike routes statewide, largely on existing roadways.
Signs mark the routes in the field as in the example shown.
See the Bike Index Map for a more detailed map and route listing of the routes in Washington and Carter Counties. This program is designed to improve livability of cities through integrated land use and transportation strategies. Of particular importance are improved bicycle and pedestrian linkages.
