Knox County’s Concord Park lies on the shores of Fort Loudoun Lake off of Northshore Drive in West Knox County. The main trails at Concord are legacy trails that have challenging natural features. The main parking area is located behind the tennis courts and the par 3 golf course—there, you will find a kiosk with information. There are trails both to the east and west of this trailhead. Mileage at this location is about 8 miles.
The second trailhead is located on the west end of the fishing bridge just east of the sailing club. From there a trail that accesses the most western area is located under the bridges. Additionally, there is a trail connection on the east end of the bridge that is commonly called the roundabout property. The roundabout trails equate to about 2.5 miles and the additional trails on the more western section about 1.5 miles. AMBC and Knox County Parks and recreation have plans to develop additional trail on this parcel.
- Distance: 12 miles total

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.
