Haw Ridge, Norris Dam State Park, Aspire, Windrock Bike Park, and North Boundary Trails
The Oak Ridge-Clinch River area offers a true variety of trail experiences just outside Knoxville. Riders can choose from old-school singletrack, pump tracks, jump lines, and bike park riding, with something for every skill level. East Tennessee’s rolling terrain brings both challenge and scenery, making each ride feel rewarding from start to finish.
CVTA works with the City of Oak Ridge, Tennessee State Parks, and private landowners to support a unique variety of trail experiences. The chapter is committed to building sustainable trails that add to the area’s livability, health, and economy. CVTA also hosts three signature events each year: the Haw Ridge Hill of Truth 12-hour bike race and 7-mile run in October, the Windrock Tennessee Nationals Downhill Race in March, and the Norris Dam State Park Norris Poker Run in April.
