This trail was the first all-accessible trail that TVA built. The paved trail is a great place to stretch your legs after enjoying a picnic under the trees. Walkers may find it a little bit cooler along this trail than out by the lake. It is on the Watts Bar Dam Reservation on the right as you enter the day-use area. Watts Bar Dam is about 65 miles south of Knoxville, Tennessee. Tale I-75 to exit 60, turn right onto Hwy. 68.

Topographical Maps
Most of the trails are overlaid on topographic (or topo) maps. Topo maps are an attempt to show real variations in elevation on a flat map. If you know how to read a topo map, the map itself can tell you a lot. Here are a few tips to help you out.
Adopt a TVA Trail
TVA manages more than 30 public trails (almost 180 miles) along the Tennessee River and its tributaries and on reservoir lands. You can help us by protecting and monitoring the trails to instill a legacy of conservation. Learn how to volunteer.
