Knoxville transforms from ‘scruffy’ to sleek

Trails and greenways highlighted as Knoxville attractions in Tennessean review.



Knoxville transforms from ‘scruffy’ to sleek:

Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness is a 1,000-acre corridor of forested acres and trail systems along the city’s south waterfront that invites hiking, mountain biking, swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, canoeing, climbing, canopy tours and other outdoor activities. It incorporates several parks and natural areas, Civil War sites, and more than 40 miles of multi-use trails.

Note: Knoxville prefers "scruffy" today, in the way that Ashevillians want to "Keep Asheville Weird," Knoxvillians want to "Keep Knoxville Scruffy."
