East Tennesee State University

Discover classic Appalachian singletrack just minutes from downtown Johnson City! Nestled in the wooded hills surrounding East Tennessee State University, the ETSU Trail System offers miles of twisting trails, punchy climbs, technical descents, and plenty of roots and rocks to keep riders on their toes.

With two distinct trail networks connected across Southwest Avenue, ETSU is a favorite for quick rides, technical skill-building, and convenient outdoor escapes. The shaded forests and rolling terrain also make these trails popular with hikers and trail runners.

​

Visitor Information: Trails are open to the public, with multiple access points throughout campus. Parking is generally available during evenings and weekends, with additional access near the ETSU Disc Golf Course.
