Mountain Biking: Tsali Recreation Area

Tsali Recreation Area

Legendary trails run the hills around beautiful Fontana Lake, near the NC/TN border at the feet of the Great Smoky Mountains. The fast and undulating single track will keep you winded ... and hungry for more.

There are four major loops at Tsali, and trail use is regulated to keep mountain bikers and horseback riders seperated. Really, these trails are very fast, and it makes sense to keep bombing bikers from frightening the horses.

Hiking is open on all trails seven days a week.
