Aspire (777 Aspire Drive, Clinton, TN) is a privately owned, free to the public park located on the Clinch River in Clinton. It is a 36 minute drive from Knoxville. We will hike 5 miles- 3.6 miles on a mountain bike trail and 1.4 miles on a paved greenway. After the hike there are several options for those wishing to stay longer:

  • Lunch at The Pearl, the onsite restaurant with an excellent chef
  • Biking on the greenway, paved walkways or skill areas
  • Or using the boat ramp to the Clinch River for a canoe, kayak or paddle board. There are no rentals so bring your own bike or watercraft.

We will meet on the upper level directly behind the main building (housing The Pearl) at 9:00, ready to hike. Restrooms and a water fill are available at that location. This hike is rated easy with some moderate climbs and descents.
