Mountain Bike Club. The topic is a 1,000 acre park on the south side of the
Tennessee river across from downtown Knoxville.
One day, with our input, the park will feature paddling on Quarry Lake as
well as mountain bike trails. A whitewater waterpark requires significant
capital and may be years off but it has been prominently mentioned in City
of Knoxville South Waterfront planning meetings
