Kingsport Greenbelt - place to bike at last

 
 
 
 

We have discovered a great hiking and biking trail - it was serendipity. We saw a small sign at the edge of the mall parking lot; it said "Kingsport Greenbelt" and we found it to be a lovely trail. We had been hoping to find a place to ride - the streets here are way too hilly and narrow for us recreational riders. So we happily went for a ride on our recumbent trikes. We stopped along the trail to get some photos. I took these photos while sitting on the trike.

The trail meanders along Reedy Creek and crosses in several places. We saw a blue heron wading in the creek. I was hoping to get a photo but he flew away. What a majestic bird, how wonderful to find him in the middle of the city. We also saw lots of gray squirrels. The trail goes mostly through woods, but also runs past a meadow. We really enjoyed this great trail.
