Located in [[Warriors | Located in [[Warriors Path State Park]]. Nice quick hike nearby for those in Kingsport. Interesting view of a stream flowing and disappearing into a sink hole (thus the name sinking waters). Can also be made part of a nice jogging route. Good views to the south for those that make it to the ridge top, especially on winter early mornings. Also a good location for blackberries and raspberries during the warm summer months. | ||

The trail consists of three connected loops. Starting from the typical access point on Cedar Branch Road is the greenish blue blazed forest or ridge loop offering some views to the south. The middle loop is the yellow blazed field loop. The final loop and location of the sinking waters namesake is the blue blazed wetlands loop. The wetlands loop is connected to the park golf course. | The trail consists of three connected loops.
