This park is amazing! We ended up here after a long road trip and needed to stretch our legs and let my son run out some of his energy. We had lunch here on top of a hill with plenty of picnic tables and public grilling spots that overlook the beautiful lake. This is also where the first tee is for their frisbee golf course. There's a massive playground here with swings, monkey bars, sand pits and a huge walking trails for both kids and adults. There's also a walking trail that's themed after the book, "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe". This includes an actual wardrobe that kids can walk through and start the story trail with accompanying book themed statues, play areas, and even talking signs along the path that help explain the story of the book. The bathrooms here were super clean and the there is tons of parking available. We will be stopping here on our next road trip to VA!

We came to this park just as the rain was letting up, and the animals were out! We saw cranes, ducks, and a cluster of about six deer right in front of the visitors' center. This land is named "Warriors Path" because it was an actual warpath used during the fights between the Iroquois and the Cherokee. The park was deeded to Tennessee in 1950. It has an inclusive playground for those with disabilities, boating, fishing, 94 campsites, 10 miles of biking trails, a disc gold course, and an 18 hole golf course. We saw a ton of wildlife and enjoyed getting to look around at what this park has to offer.

First camping trip to Warrior's Path State Park. We stayed for a long weekend since we were attending a wedding in the area. Plenty to do at this park. Amenities include the lake, swimming pool, fishing, boating, disc golf, an 18 hole golf course, riding stables, and miles of hiking trails. We didn't get to take advantage of all of the amenities due to the amount of time spent with wedding weekend activities. We plan to return though.

Warrior's Path State Park is pretty cool.... It's a popular destination in the area for both locals and out of towners, so because of that it's hit or miss when it comes to other human beings you may encounter. Nothing they can do to control the bad apples, so it is what it is. There is A LOT I do here. A lot. Plenty of hiking trails for both beginners and hard core crowds, swimming, community events, etc. Can also do paddle boat or kayaking, fishing, and great place to take your dogs to I imagine (I don't have a dog). I mainly come here for the camping though and have been here quite a few times for that. My camping trips are typically last minute and for some reason they are rarely booked up on a moments notice (except obviously on holidays). The campground area, specifically the overflow area since I do tent camping, is pretty decent. Clean restrooms, and fairly private with an accessible trailhead. I say fairly private because your actual camp site isn't private, but people tend to mind their own business so that's a good thing. Grounds crew also come by here and there to make sure everything is good, control noise, and keep things tidy. It's not the best campground by far, but it's nice because it's convenient... just a heads up, it is close to roads so you'll hear cars. If I was looking for something more remote then I would not come here but for a quick camping trip to get away from regular life it fits the bill.

This state park has an awesome playground for kids of all ages. It is an inclusive park with accessible play equipment for kids with special needs and special rides. There are two separate playgrounds, plus a nature walk featuring the story of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, a rustic treehouse lookout, a sensory walk and a puppet theater. It's a must do If you're local or passing through with kids.

Great place to get away to walk the trails or have a picnic. If you're close enough it's a cool place to take your lunch break and relax.

This is such a quaint, adorable space. We stopped here to…read morelet our dog out and to view the "Spirit of Generosity". It was a bit late in the day so the restrooms were closed but the building was decorated with art from the community and was interesting to view. They had also installed a sleigh in the middle of the park for Christmas which was nice for photos. There were lots of people there walking their dogs and there is a parking lot as well as street parking. It is right next to an old train station and plenty of shops and restaurants. We stayed here for 20 or 30 minutes and honestly it was one of our favorite stops in the city.

On my way to lunch in the interesting hamlet of downtown Kingsport, I was scoping out some parking…read morenear the restaurant. I was trying to get close but i didn't want to get too close to the restaurant, have no parking available, then have to retrace my tracks. I always find parking habits interesting: some folks want to get as close as possible and will wait five minutes for a spot if they seem someone walking to the parking area (this seems especially true at any Walmart anywhere in the country). I just like to park at the first available spot and start walking. Routinely, I am entering the establishment before Lazy Larry is done parking. I was a solid 2 blocks from the restaurant but the parking spaces were getting filled. I drove right upon this park and liked it so much, I parked right in front of it. It was a hot day outside, so there were a couple of families enjoying the splash pad. I recently saw a splash pad at another park in Knoxville; must be a TN thing. The jets were shooting out large volumes of water and the kids were having a great time. There are benches for seating and the grass is pristinely kept. I initially thought it might be artificial but it's the real deal. I sat on a bench and checked some emails after lunch, but the sun is the enemy of red-heads, so i trudged back to my truck. Nice little park.

We were on a long road trip and looking for spots to stop, stretch our legs, and give the kids a…read morebreak from the car. This was the perfect stop! We loved riding the chair lift down to the tunnel and, wow, what an impressive sight! The river was beautiful and our kids loved wading in just a bit to cool off before heading back up the lift. The ranger service was wonderful with lots of tips and activities for the kids to do on small, manageable hikes. The kids also enjoyed playing on the train engine displayed near the parking lot. Definitely a great spot to visit even just to ride the lift down to the tunnel and back up!

Clearly, this place is marketed to resemble Natural Bridge, Virginia's better known (and frankly,…read moremore impressive) attraction. The park here is set up with a number of camping facilities and trails that have a separate entrance, while the attraction itself is accessible by parking at a visitor center and either walking down a fairly steep trail or taking a (seasonal) chairlift. On the dreary day I visited, there was barely a soul in sight, but the park seemed to be setting up for a winter lights festival. The tunnel itself is used for a railroad line, and a viewing platform allows you to go to the edge of the tunnel but you can't actually go through it, which is disappointing. The trail downstream through the gorge is pleasant and worth a brief jaunt but it terminates quickly. Those seeking more of a hike will find the ridge trail that heads upwards worthwhile, and the views of the tunnel from above are probably at least as good as what you'd get walking up close to it. The local Lover's Leap is majestic (and horrifying, if you think about it). I did not think it one of the more impressive state parks in either Virginia or in the the confluence of states in this region, but there are some nice things to see.
