Sharp's Ridge, Protected natural area in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The 156-acre park includes unpaved trails that wind through wooded hills, with several observation points offering views of the Smoky Mountains and Cumberland Plateau.
The ridge bears the name of the Sharpe family, who established their residence on this elevated terrain during the nineteenth century.
The park stands as a memorial to military veterans, featuring educational signs that identify mountain peaks and provide information about the local landscape.
