Probst Park

Probst Park, formally known as Smoke Rise Park or Smoke Rise I, is on the southwest side of Hugh Howell Road, near the intersection at Silver Hill Road. The area is heavily wooded and features a nature trail with steep topography. There are benches and picnic tables along the trail. There are several wooden bridges that cross streams along the trails. There is a newly added permeable parking lot on the southeast side of the park. The park has characteristic wood fencing throughout. Additionally, the City recently installed an ADA-compliant bridge connecting the parking lot to the trailhead.

“Bill Probst was an exemplary citizen in the truest sense. Possessed of a brilliant and active mind all his life, he was the original visionary for Smoke Rise. As he developed neighborhoods and built hundreds of homes, he returned quality and value for every dollar entrusted to him,” said Tucker Mayor Frank Auman. “There is no replacing a Bill Probst – we can only hope his example will inspire others to follow in his path.”
