Motorcycle Trails

Rev your engine and ride away, leaving civilization behind on your motorcycle getaway. Unicoi County is home to a beautiful scenic ride through the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina. As you ride into the Cherokee National Forest, watch to breeding trout as they swim by your side in the streams and creeks that line the way.  After that, hear our ancestors laugh in the wind as you ride through the land of former moonshiners and whiskey makers. Top off your trip with a break by the banks of the Nolichucky River, taking in the breeze and relishing in the sights of the flowing water and rolling land. This trail allows you to lose yourself as you become one with nature, relaxing and recharging on the backroads of our community.
