Marie Myers Park – AKA: The Year Round Get Down & Drop Inn

Marie Myers Park – AKA: The Year Round Get Down & Drop Inn

The 2022 partnership with The Drop Inn has added 4 new hardened trail to this trail network that was rebuilt in 2019 — making what was the worst park in the rain to THE GO-TO Trails #yearround!

NOW with 6 all weather direction trails, multiple multiuse trails, and a mellow toll road to climb back to the top – this park is great for session laps! Trail users can connect to this park via the Red Bud Crest trail at Baker Creek Preserve or snag one of the few parking spaces at 4701 Sevierville Pike (don’t block that gate!!!). The park has connections to Baker Creek Preserve, Ijams Quarry Trails, and William Hastie Natural Area; Note that most trails in the system are shared use, be kind to your neighbors! NOTE: There is NO parking at The Drop Inn.

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.
