Donation of 28 acres accepted to add to trail
ELIZABETHTON â By a 21-2 vote, the Carter County Commission voted Thursday to accept a donation of 28 acres of land between Valley Forge and Hampton that could extend the Tweetsie Trail by 4.5 miles and provide connections with the Hampton Springs Watershed Mountain Bicycle Trail and Green Bridge Park in Hampton.
The property being donated is the route by which the East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad used to operate a narrow gauge rail line between Valley Forge and Hampton. It extends from Mill Pond in Valley Forge to Railroad Street in the Rittertown Road area of Hampton. The donation also includes a tunnel that is in good shape and a bridge over the Doe River that is unsafe.
