East Fork Poplar Creek Greenway

Description: New trail (2019) that runs 2.4 miles along the north side of East Fork Poplar Creek. This riparian trail starts at the corner of S Illinois and Turnpike (on the church/school side empty parking lot), follows the creek until near Tate's Salvage (they wouldn't grant easement) and then moves up to the street to cross turnpike and goes on to west end fire station. Part of the intent of this trail is to encourage the boys and girls clubs to be involved because the trail is located close to them.
Trail surface: Natural wooded path, some pavement
Difficulty: Easy
Handicap Access: No
Distance: 2.4 miles one way
Main Entrances: Paved area at junction of Illinois and Turnpike
Uses: Walk/jog, pets

The trail was designed and constructed by volunteers from Greenways Oak Ridge and the Clinch Valley Trail Alliance. Seven bridges were constructed along the trail.
