This open house event is your opportunity to share feedback about Knoxville’s riverfront as it is today, and your ideas to improve access to river spaces and experiences, resource health and economic development opportunities in the future as part of North America’s next great regional trail system. The feedback you share will help guide next steps for Knoxville leadership and the Tennessee RiverLine team.

Knoxville is one of fifteen communities that enrolled in the Tennessee RiverLine’s Tennessee RiverTowns Program in October, 2021 . The program is a three-stage initiative that facilitates collaboration among enrolled communities, partnering organizations and Tennessee RiverLine staff.
The Tennessee RiverLine is a continuous system of paddling, hiking and biking experiences along the Tennessee River’s 652-mile reach. It is a catalyst for economic development, public health, resource stewardship and equitable access across four states while connecting communities and celebrating the history, beauty and diversity of the Tennessee River Valley. The initiative began as a student vision in the UT School of Landscape Architecture and is moving toward implementation with the leadership and support of its principal partners The University of Tennessee, Knoxville and the Tennessee Valley Authority, in collaboration with the Tennessee RiverLine Partnership.
