The rolling landscape and large open spaces make Lakeshore Park a haven for recreational activities. In addition to eight sport fields, several playgrounds and picnic areas, the Lakeshore Greenway loops around the park with a stretch alongside Fort Loudon Lake. Be aware that there are several short but steep hills to climb in either direction on this paved path. From the hilltop start of the Greenway, the views overlooking the lake with the distant rise of the Smoky Mountains are absolutely stunning.
