Join a Park Ranger for a bike ride on the Melton Lake Greenway to see how the former communities of the area have changed over the past 75 years. The ride is approximately 8 miles round-trip; it is recommended that visitors bring drinking water.
Park rangers will stop several times along the bike ride to point out the rich history that is found within the Oak Ridge area.
