This park offers beautiful views and river access. There's a paved greenway that winds through the park. A really popular part of the park is the PetSafe Dog Park, which has separate fenced areas for large and small dogs, along with water fountains for your furry friends.

Ijams Nature Center is a recreational gem, at just minutes from downtown Knoxville. As part of Legacy Parks Foundation's initiative, this 300-acre preserve features over 40 miles of trails to hike, run and mountain bike, a large quarry to fish and paddle in, a rock climbing crag with 12 bolted routes, and a nature center with an educational raptor center. From the tranquil river-side paths close to the center, to the rugged Quarry and Natural Area Trail System across the road along Meads Quarry, Ijams Nature Center provides an exceptional outdoor experience for people of all ages.

Central street of the city, with theaters, shops and restaurants. Worth seeing.

The quarry is a fan-favorite spot in the warmer months. Kayaking, canoeing, and swimming is allowed in the water and there is tons of wildlife to view from flowers to fish to freshwater jellyfish.

Lost Chromosome Trailhead is at the parking area for Knoxville Head Start. Here bikers can find a map of the Knoxville Urban Wilderness area and a nice water refill station.

Often occupied by geese in the warmer months, this large fountain serves as the roughly halfway spot on the Cherokee Boulevard trail. This is also at the bottom of where the larger hills on the trail begin/end.

The entrance to the Sequoyah Hills neighborhood is a stone gate surrounded by some bushes and shrubs. This gate marks the northern terminal of the crushed-cinder path of Cherokee Boulevard. Across Kingston Pike, one can gain access to the Third Creek Greenway, which is a paved path that travels for several miles both east and west.

This trail intersection marks the end of the Third Creek Greenway. Here, one has the opportunity to view a variety of wildlife with Third Creek being on one side of the path and the UT Gardens being on the other.
