The Mountain Goat Trail is a rail to trail community outdoor recreation project to convert an abandoned railroad right-of-way into a multi-use recreational corridor between Grundy and Franklin Counties on the Cumberland Plateau in Middle Tennessee.

The Mountain Goat Trail Alliance is working to revitalize the historic Mountain Goat train line as a premier hiking and biking trail.

The first phase from Sewanee to St. Andrew’s is complete, and plans are underway for the next two phases from Sewanee through Monteagle to Tracy City. This 14-mile section will link communities, their schools, and the Plateau’s natural areas and historic sites.
