Mountain Biking Bell's Bend Mountain Bike Trail
#138 of 202 mountain bike trails in Tennessee
The trail is nearly flat, part of it is in woods, part of it is in a field. This trail is designed to be the very easiest to ride, gateway trail to bring new mountain bikers to. The corridor is wide in the woods, which gives the opportunity to pick lines over the few rocks there, and the open field provides new riders and more experienced riders alike the chance to work on their turns.

Take exit 24 from Briley Parkway, go north on Highway 12 to Scottsboro. At the stoplight there, take a left onto Old Hickory Blvd, and go several miles until you see a sign indicating Bell's Bend Park. The kiosk and trail head are at the far end of the parking lot.
Three stars because there's not a lot of distance out here yet. Otherwise, for what it's intended to be, it's quite good. This is gateway trail - the easiest level of trail to ride. My wife is cutting her teeth on it, my kids like it because they can work the turns in the field as fast as possible without having to worry about hitting a tree if they get it wrong.
Lots of single track in the fields, some in the woods, a few rocks in the woods, and some rolling sections that make for good practice pumping on the trail, a key skill. Basically flat, total elevation is less than 40 feet for one loop.
