Trail Overview

Rails-to-Trail conversion of the former ET&WNC (“Tweetsie”) railroad right-of-way between Johnson City and Elizabethton offers an easy walk/bike ride.

How to get there

From Johnson City, TN:

  1. Take US-321 east to Elizabethton.
  2. Take left/north into Lions Field ballpark.

There are other access points, but this location is recommended for hikers until the overall path is better understood.

Route Description

Currently 4.5 miles of the overall ten planned are open between Sycamore Shoals State Park and Alabama Street in Johnson City.

Typical Conditions

Being a Rails-to-Trail path, the gradual tread is packed rock, called chat, thus easy walking.

Fees, Permits, etc.
