At just under ten miles, the Tweetsie Trail is short for cycling but well loved in the communities of Johnson City and Elizabethton, TN. I rode in mid-April 2025 and started in Elizabethton where there was a gravel parking lot and a port a potty. The trail passed an industrial area, center city and retail strip malls. These are not my favorite views but after about 5 miles the trail became shaded and surrounded by trees and gaps with great views. I very much enjoyed this second half, just wish it was longer. My total round trip mileage was just 19.6 miles.
Elizabethton trailhead (36.32574, -82.20528) has a lower elevation than Johnson City (36.31498, -82.33655). The trail surface was fine gravel over hard pack. It was a smooth, easy ride. There were road crossings on the Elizabethton end but only some very low traffic crossings on the Johnson City end.
