This greenway has several hills overlooking I-40 and Bearden Hill. On clear days, some peaks on the greenway offer beautiful views of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Papermill Bluff Greenway was designed primarily as a commuter route, though it does offer recreation opportunities to nearby neighborhoods and businesses. Future plans for Papermill Bluff Greenway include connecting south along Fourth Creek to Lakeshore Greenway in Lakeshore Park, which is currently the most heavily used greenway in Knoxville.
