A low-key lakeside and riverside trail hugging Dandridge Municipal Park with shoreline viewpoints, dock access and tree-lined paths — great for reflections, long exposures of water, seasonal foliage and soft Smoky Mountain light. Easy paved/single-track sections, free parking at the park, wheelchair-accessible areas, no entry fee. Best at golden hour (sunrise for calm water, sunset for warm backlight); spring and fall give best color. Weekday mornings are quiet.
