== Trail Overview ==
<!-- Enter overview of the trail. What attracts you to this trail, points of interest, types of flowers, lakes, and peaks that you see along the way. -->
A greenway along I-26 with wooded areas, natural ponds, wetlands and mountain views.

== How to get there ==
<!-- Please enter detailed instruction on how to find the trail head. -->
From Johnson City, TN:
#Take I-26 south to Erwin Exit 40.
#Take left/east onto Jackson Love Highway.
#After 0.3 mile, turn left/north onto Industrial Drive.
#Just short of a mile, there will be a parking area on your left.

There are other access points, but this location is recommended for hikers as near the natural wetlands.

== Route Description==
<!-- Detailed description of the route. Is there any side trails that are worth traveling? -->
Four miles of a asphalt path paralleling I-26 between Industrial Drive to Old Fishery Road.  Mutiple access points depending upon your objective, including a playground.  Essentially flat, but very slight rise when northbound.

While trail signs indicate connection/parking at the north end with Erwin city park, the section under Harris Hollow Road was never built beyond a "bridge to nowhere" on the north side.  Old Fishery Road is the north terminus.  Likewise, the trail sign shows the southern end at the gravel parking are on Industrial Drive, but it was extended just under Jackson Love Hwy, thus allowing access to its bike path.

== Typical Conditions ==
<!-- Typical conditions throughout the year of what to expect on the trail. Rocky, muddy, sandy, flowers, lots of downed trees?  -->
Paved. With mostly walkers and bikers enjoying the views.
