Confirmed from Rock Springs Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Kid-friendly park with a playground for swings and slides, plus paved trails for walking and jogging.

Great walking trails, has a basketball court and a big field, wheresports is played. Only downfall. The bathroom are locked. It's mid-May. Many visitors with no access to restrooms. Shame on you Lenoir City Parks and Recreation.
Pretty good play area. small, but good. Very nice walking trail. There weren't any swings for infants.
