Recently completed improvements have made most of the eastern picnic area in the park accessible and improved the accessibility of the overlook. While the improvements were focused on ADA upgrades, theyve really made an impact and updated the experience for everyone who visits.

Great view of downtown knoxville! Wheel chair accesible and has a picnic area. Binoculars would make the experience better.

It can potentially be a nice hiking trail, except its not maintained. There is lose gravel on the trails and the plants are overgrown.Its fine for mountain bikes I guess.

Our family had a wonderful hike on this trail - never experienced the unsafe feeling but I know its a bit secluded. The view of the city is not to be missed! I think Knoxville is wonderful to offer such beautiful trails and everyone needs to get out and USE THEM!

This is the BEST view in Tennessee. It is really steep and you will be scared driving up the mountain but it will be worth it. It is a must see if you are in Knoxville!!!

Good hike in the middle of the city, wish I wouldve brought my hiking stick for the steep places though.

Amazing place to trail run. I lost 40lbs with the help of this trail. I ran it a few times a week. Awesome bike trail, recreation, wildlife and views. Pro tip: go before 5:00pm on weekdays to avoid mountain bike riders when running.

This is a beautiful overlook of the entirety of Knoxville. There are several hiking trails and a bike path. This is about 5 minutes from downtown Knoxville as well.

Not much of a park. Couple picnic tables and pavilions but without a view of Ktown from this highly elevated perch. About all thats here is a bunch of transmission towers and a winding road to nowhere.

I didnt feel safe here. I think this is a drug and hook-up hang out. I would not return with my family nor in a small group. Maybe okay in a large bicycle group setting.

Great trails! Only 3 trails and a downhill so a little on the short side but enough variety between them to keep you entertained for a while.

Where to even begin. Such amazing biking. Very challenging and steep trails and very well maintained. Not recommended for new riders seeing as how fast you are able to go and how easy it is to lose control. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a challenge.

Who knew thst Sharps Ridge had some killer mountain bike trails? I didnt until like a month ago. Nice and flowy, as well as challenging climbs and a sweet high quality double black downhill course tucked away at the end of the road.

Very impressed with the all work that is being put into the hiking and biking trails. Sharps Ridge is finally getting the love and attention I think it as always deserved.

Was taken aback by the parks location surrounded by towers, satellites, and power lines. The location is horrible; however, the view of the city is great.

I love riding my mountain bike here. There about 5 miles of trails on the south side of the ridge you can hike or ride on. The park has always had a reputation of crime activity and known as a pickle park but Ive never had any issues here. Ive even seen KPD patroling.

Nice picnic place, there is one amazing view point from which you can see the whole city and downtown, probably the best views, but there are a lot of trees, there is also no motor vehicles zone but if I went there again i would just ignore it ... No biggie but a great place to visit
