Round Knob Picnic Area Introduce
Round Knob Picnic Area, located at 195 Round Knob Rd, Greeneville, TN 37743, offers a space for outdoor recreation, including picnicking and hiking. While it is listed within the Campgrounds & RV Parks category, it primarily functions as a picnic and day-use area.
Based on customer reviews, the picnic area features a large fireplace, picnic tables, and a nearby fresh spring. There is also an outhouse-style bathroom with toilet paper available. It is well suited for grilling and picnicking. Some reviewers brought their own barbecue grills, but there are already built-in barbecues available.
Hiking trails are available in the area, but one reviewer noted that the trail to the waterfalls is steep with minimal switchbacks and that the waterfalls themselves are not particularly impressive. They suggested that the hiking might be less appealing unless you are determined to see all the local waterfalls.
It's important to be aware of local wildlife, as there have been reported sightings of bears and coyotes in the area, even extending into nearby suburbs. Visitors are advised to exercise caution.

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.
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
Great place to take the family to hike and picnic... beautiful views ❤️
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.
Nice Place for a gathering nice ride. Unisex public toilet. running water short walk down the path to spring water.
Little bit of a drive, but a super nice drive. Looks well maintained and remote. End of the Davis Creek Trail.
