Family Friendly This is about as flat as East TN trails get. It is relatively wide and follows Baker Creek for much of the loop. All of the downhill runs connect to this trail.

Description

This relatively flat and wide trail is ideal for a family hike or ride. It meanders through two valleys and is a great introduction to the Urban Wilderness. Keep your eyes peeled to catch the largest trees on the Preserve including a huge sycamore.
