Description
Starting from the Baker Creek Bottoms parking area, make your way over to the super chill
Sycamore Loop to connect to the
Redbud Crest downhill access. This is a popular break spot with a bike rack and a couple log benches. Once you're ready to head down, take
Cruze Valley Run (Downhill) for a quick warm up on the "downhill pumptrack." Once at the bottom, take a right to transfer back to the downhill junction using
Redbud Crest.
Now get ready for some airtime on
Barn Burner (Downhill). After the last large hip-jump on
Barn Burner (Downhill), use the
Floyd Fox connector to
Sycamore Loop. From there, take
Sycamore Loop clockwise to
Best Medicine.
Turn on
Pappy's Way after the first big switchback. FYI-
Pappy's Way gets steep then steeper. Enjoy the view from Pappy's Point and maybe do a quick session of the top of
Devil's Racetrack Downhill before descending the fast flow of
Devil's Racetrack Downhill.
Best Medicine (downhill) is a great alternative for people comfortable going fast downhill, wanting something different than the often crowded
Cruze Valley Run (Downhill) and
Barn Burner (Downhill), but not ready to give the speed needed for
Devil's Racetrack Downhill.
From the bottom of
Devil's Racetrack Downhill, you can make your way to the nearby parking and play areas, head back up
Redbud Crest for another lap, or journey into Knoxville's Urban Wilderness.
History & Background
The "Springhouse" (old foundation with channelized Baker Creek) located at the bottom exit of
Devil's Racetrack Downhill and
Sycamore Loop was largely cleaned and made accessible by the late Roe Lyle.
