In 2013 the City of Johnson City completed its acquisition of a 10-mile stretch of the former ET&WNC Railroad from Johnson City through Elizabethton. The first 7-mile segment celebrated its grand opening Labor Day weekend 2014. The final 3 miles have been completed and celebrating with a grand opening Labor Day weekend 2015.Using our international travel planner, Johnson City attractions like Tweetsie Trail can form part of a personalized travel itinerary.
The recreational trail along the former railroad corridor provides an opportunity for walking, hiking, running, biking, etc. on a relatively flat grade in a natural setting. The trail connects Johnson City and Elizabethton communities. The trail takes its name from the locomotives of our railroading past whose high-pitched whistles led local residents to nickname them "Tweetsie."
To schedule an event on the Tweetsie Trail, please contact Johnson City Parks & Recreation by email jcparksinfo@johnsoncitytn.org or by phone 423-283-5815.

This is one of my favorite places to go for a walk or ride a bike. It is a long trail but you do not have to do it all. I live in the area so I am on this all the time.
