Legacy Parks Foundation is proud to announce the release of the third edition of Urban Hikes in Knoxville and Knox County, Tennessee — a comprehensive guide to exploring the outdoor treasures just minutes from downtown.
Authored by local hiking experts Ron Shrieves and Mac Post, the updated guidebook features more than 30 local trails and greenway walks that showcase the region’s unique blend of natural beauty, history, and urban character. Each hike includes detailed descriptions, color photographs, maps, and information about amenities, accessibility, and features such as scenic overlooks, historic landmarks, birding opportunities, and wildflower displays.
Whether you’re a lifelong Knoxvillian or a first-time visitor, this guide will help you discover new trails, revisit old favorites, and experience how connected our city is through its network of greenways, parks, and natural areas.
