February 23-25, 2025 in Knoxville, TN

Join us in Knoxville, TN, the birthplace and trailhead community of the Tennessee RiverLine, for the 2025 Tennessee RiverLine Summit. As the gateway to the RiverLine, Knoxville embodies the spirit of innovation, collaboration, and adventure that drives our vision. The Summit is your opportunity to connect with trail enthusiasts, community leaders, and visionaries who share a passion for promoting and enhancing the Tennessee RiverLine's 1.2 million acres of outdoor experiences and the diverse communities along the river's banks.

Immerse yourself in engaging discussions, informative presentations, and networking opportunities that will inspire and empower you on this remarkable journey. Take part in optional excursions that allow you to explore the beauty and diversity of the Tennessee RiverLine's trailhead community firsthand, connecting with the landscape that unites us all. On Monday evening, join us for the annual awards dinner, where we’ll celebrate the outstanding contributions of our partners and trailblazers who are helping to bring the RiverLine vision to life. 

Join us in Knoxville, where the Tennessee RiverLine begins, and help us chart the course for its future.
