Baker Creek Bike Park

Baker Creek Bike Park

Baker Creek Bike Park sits just outside of Baker Creek Preserve and features a large asphalt pump track, an asphalt jump line, a crushed stone jump line, a small asphalt pump track, and multiple cross-country skills lines. It’s the go-to spot for practicing jumps and tricks (or just warming up!) before you head to the trails.

Originally built in 2020, this City of Knoxville bike park is the culmination of a multi-year AMBC initiative that provides all-weather progression to Baker Creek Preserve. The bike park hosts wheels of all sorts, from scooters and skateboards to dirt jumpers and BMX bikes – and there’s something for all ages. Good luck wiping the grin off your face! 

If you want to have a little fun while the trails are wet, this is the place. Keep in mind that wood features get very slick when wet, and give your fellow riders plenty of space on the jump lines and pump tracks.

Bordering Baker Creek Bottoms and the Urban Wilderness Gateway Park, Baker Creek Bike Park has plenty of entertainment. Keep riding on the greenway and the features throughout the Urban Wilderness Gateway Park to connect to a playground and shaded pavilion with picnic tables and bathrooms, or head over to climb at Climbing Roots Bouldering Gym. Enjoy a post-ride meal right next door at 71 South or ride over to SoKno Taco.

Parking: You can park at Baker Creek Bottoms, Baker Creek Pavilion, or nearby street parking. You can also park in the lot at the end of James White Parkway (1515 Tilson Street) and where the Urban Wilderness Gateway Park begins, and then warm up on the greenway and trail features to get to Baker Creek Bike Park.

Know Before You Ride

Trail Etiquette & Responsible Riding

Knoxville’s trails are shared spaces — built and maintained through partnerships between volunteers, land managers, and the community. Riding responsibly helps keep trails open, safe, and sustainable for everyone.

Ride Open Trails Only

Always check trail status before heading out. Wet-weather and freeze-thaw closures protect trails from damage and help prevent erosion. Respect all posted signs and temporary closures.

Yield Properly

Mountain bikers yield to hikers and equestrians. When approaching others, slow down, communicate clearly, and pass only when it’s safe and welcomed.

Stay on the Trail

Cutting switchbacks or riding off-trail causes erosion and damages sensitive habitats. Stay on designated routes and respect trail boundaries.

Leave No Trace

Pack out what you pack in. Avoid skidding, widening trails, or creating alternate lines. Respect wildlife and keep noise to a minimum.

Ride Within Your Ability

Many Knoxville area trails are rocky, technical, and steep. Choose routes that match your skill level and progress responsibly.

Be an Ambassador

A friendly wave, clear communication, and courtesy go a long way. How riders behave directly impacts trail access and future development.
