I love this place because theres a variety of trails. From roots to rocks, going over bridges, dirt, and adrenaline pumping downhills, some ready for jumps. The riders you come across the way are very polite, and encouraging individuals. Its almost as if people just know each other. Feels so welcoming and comfortable.

Absolutely love Baker Creek. It has 3 downhill trailes from green to double black diamond, a massive pump and jump track, and other flow trails.

Great simple spot for mountain biking. Nothing fancy with downhill trails, and not super well maintained, but the development of a jump track and pump tracks has been a big boost for Knoxville.

Knoxville outdid itself with this place! If you want downhill speed and jumps you have a nice pick here. Devils Racetrack is the place to be! There is also Cruze Vally the (easier) downhill and Barn Burner (harder) loads of jumps! Plus Barn Burner has a six pack of table tops you can loop at the top to warm up. For flow Floyd Fox is nice and Sycamore Loop. If you MTB and are in Knoxville you need to visit! So much more! Jump lines! Pump track! Rock gardens! It’s the place to be!

Very nice bike park. We stayed on the asphalt tracks due to limited time but plan on coming back to try out the trails. Would love something like this at home. Baskets, skateboards, bmx, trail all good on the asphalt tracks.

Baker Creek Preserve: we always come back to this park for MTB and BMX rides. The new asphalt jump lines are great, as well as the two asphalt pump tracks with different skill levels. Knoxville has done an great job creating this resource for bicycling.

This is a great place to ride they are still adding things near the parking area the one thing I do wish though is it would be nice to have something for my wife and 3 littles to do while my 2 older boys and I shred the trails and jump line but maybe thats coming in the future

Unique and set up in a way where there are stations that you can hang out at. Equipment, swings and climbing area are also more advanced and not the same technology used for the last 100 years. Great place!

Delicious lamb and apricot tajine, most flavorful tagine yet. Not buried under any vegetables.

Review №47

Knoxville is very lucky to have a facility like this. Kid friendly and safe if you have adults supervising. devils racetrack is extremely challenging and dangerous but super fun and wonderful! Just be careful and wear your pads and helmets. I ran there the other day and it was very difficult because of the high incline. To get to the top its pretty high up there. I ran the devils racetrack and it was quite a thrill. A little dangerous but I like risky trail running.I have been running the iams trail series for a while but then never done this and it was a lot of fun.

Review №55

Extremely fun riding with diverse difficulty levels. I would rate myself as an experienced novice, if that makes any sense. My wife & I rode the moderate trails (which were plenty easy) & did the easy downhill track; it was my first EVER time doing a dedicated downhill course like that & it was--very challenging, but--an ABSOLUTE BLAST. I would NOT recommend the downhill track for any inexperienced riders, but the trails should be fine for riders of all experience & skill levels. Everything is really well marked, so you know which trail youre on & where the downhill only tracks are. Cant wait to go back there again.

Theres so much going on in this area its ridiculous! This park is very natural and built for kids and families. There is even a little basket full of random footballs basketballs Etc to get you hyped up for outdoor activity.There is a playground Forest across the street from the main playground as well as over 45 miles of Greenway connected to this park alone. Just do your research look it up and be prepared to take a whole day or two for all the fun that lies within!

My son rode there for the TYMBR series championship and liked it a lot! Wants to come back during normal operations... Parking is plentiful when you understand that youre parking in a large lot beside a church, but youre right there by the trails! Took off one star not because of facilities, but because several public riders did not respect the barrier tape hung to mark the course!

Its a park parking lot, lol. Cant wait for the renovations. Heard upgraded bathrooms are in the works, amongst other things

Review №65

This is the parking area for a piece of Knoxvilles Urban Wilderness. Basic amenities with a port-a-potty. No running water which is why it gets the 4 star, but it will start getting more as soon as the community project taking over the church gets underway. Plenty of parking for all the mountain bikers and their rigs, as well as others enjoying the trails or play areas for kids. This parking lot accesses all 3 architected downhill trails.

Small trail system shows promising future, trails are dull and short and offer little. Would be fun for children or novice ridersClimbs are too short for cardio training and descents are easy and repetitive

Every level of trail difficulty in one location. The easier trails like Sycamore Loop are wide. The mid-level trails like Floyd Fox are overgrown in spots. The difficult trails are wide and very well maintained. The dirt of the trails are east Tennessee red clay so they provide great traction and drain off quick after a rain.Pay attention to the rating system. If it says the trail is difficult, they mean it. There are videos online.

Review №77

Finally a place in the Southeast that is 5 star for the expert rider. This place is incredible. Thanks to Shaggy and his crew you can expect to find a level of riding that will keep you coming back for more. Watch the videos and realize that these jumps are much bigger than a camera does justice. Trust me - You will want to spend a few days here just to get the lines figured out. Also, there are great xc trails and local eats. This is just the beginning of a great riding destination. There is great Pump Track riding here as well. Just a great all around Off Road destination.
