Trail Overview

Located in Warriors Path State Park. A 0.27 mile walk on the sloping hillside along Ft. Patrick Henry Lake/Holston River.

How to get there

Directions to main entrance found on Warriors Path State Park webpage. There are two trailheads. One is at Fall Creek Road just south of the bridge; while the other is at the boat launch in the park campground.

Route Description

Path follows the north shoreline below the main park campground. There are dark blue trail blazes. Sometimes the route splits into an upper and lower path due to folks working their way along the steep hillside. At boat launch, can continue onto WPSP Lakeshore Trail. And right below Fall Creek Road at the bridge is an extremely popular fishing spot.

Typical Conditions

Well worn path with detours as the trees fall.

Fees, Permits, etc.
