Concord Park
C
Concord Park lies on the shores of Fort Loudoun Lake in West Knox County and spreads out along Northshore Drive into a few park areas: Concord Park at the Concord Dog Park, Callaway Ridge, Concord Cove Park and the baseball field trails (east to west). The linear 500-acre park has about 18 miles of trails total and connects to other parks, greenways, and river access points.
Concord Park at the Concord Dog Park features about 10 miles of legacy trails with challenging natural features that make for a fun, intermediate ride.
A little farther west is Calloway Ridge, which offers a little over 3 miles of mixed-level trails and a bit of elevation gain as you climb up and down the ridge. From here, you can connect to the Concord Greenway and head east by walking your bike on the pedestrian bridge that loops under the bridge to the other side of Northshore Drive, or you can keep heading west by taking the pedestrian bridge across the water.
The baseball field trails (look at a map and you’ll understand the name) are the westernmost trails and can be accessed by a trail that connects to Concord Greenway and loops under a bridge or by crossing the road at the crosswalk at Concord Cove Park. You’ll find about 6 miles of great beginner and intermediate trails here, including some downhill-only trails that make for fun session laps.
You can cool off at the swimming area, rent paddle boards or kayaks, play on the playgrounds or beach volleyball spots, picnic and grill, or just relax with a view at Concord Cove Park. If you’re exploring at Par 3 and the Concord Dog Park, you might bring your tennis racquets or enjoy a post-ride meal at Lakeside Tavern.
Parking: To access the easternmost 8 miles of trails, you’ll park at Concord Dog Park (10913 S Northshore Drive). You can access both Calloway Ridge and the baseball field trails from parking at Concord Cove Park (or the lot across the street), or you can park in the small lot on Northshore Drive right at the trailhead (Full Count) that loops under the bridge.
