Round Knob Picnic Area

The trail has hardly any switchbacks and is straight down the mountain. If the waterfalls were better it might be worth it, but they’re not. I would skip this one unless you’re like me and have to see them all lol.

Great place to take the family to hike and picnic... beautiful views ❤️

We just decided to go grill and picnic one day and we went to Round Knob. There's a huge fireplace and there is a bathroom like an outhouse though but they had toilet paper too. There's a fresh spring nearby to the picnic area with tables and a barbecue already there but we brought one to use instead. Plenty of places to hike in that area just be careful we've had more bear and coyote sightings than normal, even coming down into suburbs etc

Nice Place for a gathering nice ride. Unisex public toilet. running water short walk down the path to spring water.

The road is dangerous, 5 miles of gravel road, single lane with few pull offs, the facility is run down and not maintained. I would only access park with ATV or motorcycle with on / off road tires. It has beautiful views and access to trail systems like all the smokey mountain parks have but there are plenty of better accessible places to enjoy them.
