This natural area sits on nearly 16 acres along Williams Creek and preserves the beauty and peacefulness of East Knoxville. Once an area filled with dense invasive plant growth, the City hired a herd of goats to forage the area and make it a walkable path through the woods.

This urban forest is now a peaceful place to stroll and enjoy beautiful views of nature so close to Downtown Knoxville.
