The bridge on First Creek serves as the boundary between Neyland and James White Greenways.
Neyland Greenway begins at the bridge over First Creek and continues
west, parallel to the Tennessee River. The greenway crosses under Neyland
Drive at the mouth of Second Creek where Second Creek Greenway continues north to World's Fair Park, or greenway users may continue west along Neyland Greenway to the University
of Tennessee's Thompson-Boling Sports Arena, Neyland Stadium and beyond, crossing to the south side of Neyland Dr. at Volunteer Boulevard.

through the UT Experimental Garden and the UT Veterinary School.

to the parking lot at the UT Faculty Club.
