Mountain biking
The Garden Mountain Lookout Tower serves as the main viewpoint on the Holston River Mountain ridge. You can actually walk up the steps and go into the lookout if you aren't too scared of heights. The long climb up to the lookout is worth the views you get out onto the river and into Virginia.
There are a handful of trails in Bays Mountain Park, and all of them are super well-kept. This is one of the best places to go mountain biking in the area; just be aware that there is a $7 day use fee.
