One of East Tennessee's Outdoor Treasures
One of Oak Ridge's most celebrated outdoor destinations is Haw Ridge Park, a 780-acre nature preserve overlooking Melton Hill Lake. Known throughout the Southeast, Haw Ridge has become a favorite destination for mountain bikers, hikers, birdwatchers, photographers, trail runners, and families looking to experience the beauty of East Tennessee.
The park features more than 30 miles of natural trails, winding through mature hardwood forests, peaceful lakefront areas, scenic overlooks, and diverse wildlife habitats. Whether you're looking for a leisurely nature walk or a challenging mountain bike ride, Haw Ridge offers trails suitable for a variety of skill levels.
Visitors frequently encounter:
- White-tailed deer
- Wild turkeys
- Bald eagles
- Songbirds
- Wildflowers
- Native hardwood forests
- Beautiful lake views
Every season offers a different experience. Spring brings colorful wildflowers and fresh greenery, summer provides shaded forest trails, autumn transforms the park into a vibrant display of red, orange, and gold, and winter offers peaceful hikes with panoramic views through the trees.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Haw Ridge is more than a park—it's one of Oak Ridge's defining natural assets.
