This is Crossville’s newest trail, completed shortly before the 2023 marathon (…so there may be more trip-hazards than usual on this trail.) The trailhead is a newly constructed parking lot on Earl Jones Road. The North Loop Trail is lollipop design with 0.2-mile stem and a 1.9-mile loop. This is an interesting trail that takes you through a variety of terrain and vegetation, including multiple views of the airport activities. There is nothing quite like it anywhere else in Crossville.
