Confirmed from Kingsport Greenbelt Trail Head's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
8-mi. wooded path for walking, running & biking with wetlands, picnic areas & views.

Excellent trail to stretch your legs and get some air. The flora and fauna isn't half bad either.
A great walking trail that's runs through Kingsport. Paved al.ost the entire way.
Very enjoyable place to run, walk, or ride your bicycle with your friends and family. It's a long trail for me. I usually start at the Golden Corral / Petsmart @ N Eastman Rd area all the way thru Orebank Rd or Cleek Farm area and back. Very well maintained trail.I love it!
From the trailhead at Orebank Rd., it's two miles to the exit at American Way. And mostly downhill. So I get my wife to pick me up there and drive me back lol. And she usually has me a cold drink. I love her.
