How to get there

From downtown Kingsport, TN:

1. Take Fort Henry Drive/TN-36 toward Colonial Heights.
2. Turn left at stoplight by Food City onto Hemlock Road. (Warning: Red Light camera intersection this direction.)
3. Follow Hemlock Road under railroad underpass. The park ranger station is just inside the main entrance.

From I-81:

1. Take TN Exit 59 (Kingsport).
2. Turn NW on Fort Henry Drive/TN-36.
3. Turn right (north) onto Colonial Heights (by Zoomerz, Sunoco). (Warning: Red Light camera intersection in this direction. Come to a complete stop if the light is yellow or red before making turn.)
4. Continue on Colonial Heights road as it makes a sharp left and then right over railroad tracks.
5. Turn right (east) on Hemlock Road. The main park entrance can be seen.

Trailheads are in several different locations, so refer to the specific trail descriptions.

The park offers the following trails to explore:

Boneyard, Boneyard Connector, Connector, Darwin's Connector, Darwin's Revenge, Devil's Backbone, Fall Creek Loop, Fawn Loop, Holston Bluffs, Lake Hollow, Lake Road (Warriors Path State Park), Lakeshore, Magic Carpet Ride, Overlook, Pawpaw, Pawpaw Connector, Ridge Top (Warriors Path State Park), Riverbank, Rock City, Sinking Waters, Whitetail Alternate, Whitetail Loop, Woodland Ridge, Zipline
