Melton Hill Park Great little park w/ trails, views and close to town

Melton Hill Park   Great Views, great mowed trails, and great for dog lovers too

Melton Hill park is not far from Knoxville or Oak Ridge.  I went there this fall with the elementary Cross Country program (KTC) but wanted to go back w/ my dogs and family.   It is off Hardin Valley road where you turn between Hardin Valley Elem and the big new Food City.  After half mile you turn left at first intersection and wind around country farm area for a few miles. Look for signs to park and soon you'll be there.   Over 100 acres and a over 2 miles of mowed trails.  We parked down by playground and boat launch area and headed to a little trail in the woods next to the water.  Then we came out on some mowed trails and crossed the man road and then hit an area where you can see the model planes flying.





There are picnic areas, trails for hiking & biking and then in warmer months boating and swimming too.
