Hunting Schedule for Forks of the River WMA

Please note that dove season is currently on at Forks of the River! Please steer clear of the trails at the WMA during hunt dates.

Recreation will be limited to the paved greenway only: September 22-23, November 3-18, and December 22-23.

Partnerships, coordination, and sharing our resources have brought us where we are today, so please take a moment when planning your adventures to keep yourself informed on hunting season dates in the FOR Wildlife Management Area!

We will update the club via club list serve, social media, and onsite signs.

 

Workday Schedule!

Here’s the AMBC trail work day schedule for Fall/Winter 2012/2013. Knoxville’s trails don’t happen without our local volunteers, and will only grow bigger and better with your help. All workdays start at 9 and end between noon-3pm, depending on number of volunteers and work to be completed.

Workday sponsorships are available. If you or your business is interested in sponsoring lunch for an AMBC workday, please contact Brian Hann at president@ambcknox.org. Thanks for your support!

Knoxville News Sentinel: “Traversing Urban Wilderness…”

8/8/12: The Knoxville News Sentinel talked to AMBC members Brian Hann and Matthew Kellogg about the continuing development of trails in South Knoxville.

Starting Tuesday, the South Knoxville loop will bring the city’s urban wilderness trail up to 35 miles and link parks and natural areas with paths built with local sweat. A hiker or cyclist now will be able to travel from Ijams Nature Center to William Hastie Natural Area, over to Forks of the River Wildlife Management Area, and back to Ijams.

Big South Fork Epic Weekend 2012

Celebrate and contribute to National Trails Day by joining AMBC for our 3rd annual Big South Fork Epic Weekend.

AMBC will have a weekend-long camping/riding/trail work trip at Big South Fork on June 1-3. Come up Friday for an evening Grand Gap group ride and camp out.

Saturday morning we’ll get up and hit the trails for some maintenance from 9-12; after lunch we’ll spend the rest of the day RIDING! More group rides will happen Sunday.

There will be groups for all levels of riders—nobody will miss out on a chance to ride some of East Tennessee’s best trails.

Please email president@ambcknox.org if you’re coming so we can get a head count. See you there!
