Free text: {{Park trail map}} __TOC__ ==Park Overview== [https://tnstateparks.com/parks/contact/warriors-path Warrior's Path State Park] has {{Park trail count|Park={{PAGENAME}}}} trails covering {{Park trail miles|Park={{PAGENAME}}}} good for quick after work jaunts with the kids and pets for a quick stroll. == How to get there == The park address is 490 Hemlock Road, Kingsport, Tennessee 37663 From downtown Kingsport, TN: #Take Fort Henry Drive/TN-36 toward Colonial Heights. #Turn left at stoplight by Food City onto Hemlock Road. (Warning: Red Light camera intersection this direction.) #Follow Hemlock Road under railroad underpass. The park ranger station is just inside the main entrance. From I-81: #Take TN Exit 59 (Kingsport). #Turn NW on Fort Henry Drive/TN-36. #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.) #Continue on Colonial Heights road as it makes a sharp left and then right over railroad tracks. #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. == Park Trails == <!-- A little wizardry here. We wanted to subgroup the trails list. Wanted to list the "Trail System" defined MB trails separately. Unfortunately there is no way to ask for a property undefined. Instead did array operations. (All Trails)-(MB Trails)=(Trails not part of system). Could have just done listed trail names, but it would need updating with trail name changes (unlikely). -->{{#ask:[[Category:Trail||Trails]] [[Park::{{PAGENAME}}]] |format=array |link=none |name = allTrails }}{{#ask:[[Category:Trail||Trails]] [[Park::{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Trail System::~*Mountain Bike*]] |format=array |link=none |name = systemTrails }}{{#arraydiff:mainTrails|allTrails|systemTrails}} The park offers the following trails to explore: {{Park trail table template|#userparam=intro}} {{Park trail table template|#userparam=header|header=Main Park Trails}} {{#ask:[[Category:Trail||Trails]] [[Park::{{PAGENAME}}]] [[{{#arrayprint:mainTrails|{{!}}{{!}}}}]] |mainlabel=trail | ?Trail Distance#mi-p2=distance | ?Difficulty=difficulty | ?Trail Marking=marking | ?Trail Highlight=highlight | ?Allowed activities=use |format=plainlist |headers=hide |link=none |template=Park trail table template |userparam=row |named args=yes }} {{Park trail table template|#userparam=header|header=Mountain Bike Trail System}} {{#ask:[[Category:Trails]] [[Trail System::Warriors' Path State Park Mountain Bike Trails]] |mainlabel=trail | ?Trail Distance#mi-p2=distance | ?Difficulty=difficulty | ?Trail Marking=marking | ?Trail Highlight=highlight | ?Allowed activities=use |format=plainlist |headers=hide |link=none |template=Park trail table template |userparam=row |named args=yes }} {{Park trail table template|#userparam=outro}} '''Note:''' Technically Wahoo is not within the park, but is on TVA land accessed through the park as part of the Mountain Bike trail system. A couple mile loop around most of the park campground can be done on Lake Hollow, Connector, and Lakeshore trails. <br>Devil's Backbone and Fall Creek Loop trails also make a nice combination. Riverbank Trail no longer connects across Fall Creek Road with Holston Bluffs Trail. ==Park Lodging== <!-- Park offered lodging --> Park offers 134 camping sites. All of which allows either tents or RV's. Sites fill up quickly on most summer weekends. It is ill advised to arrive without a reservation in the summer. === Campground === Campground has bath houses spread around the park, including showers. Two dump stations are available at the front and rear of the main campground. The "Overflow Campground" is currently being renovated for previously announced RV friendly sites including site sewer. Work began in December 2020. A Hammock campground was added late 2020, presumably for reservation starting in 2021. It appears to be hammock only. ==Other Park Amenities== * Pool * Golf Course * Playgrounds * Amphitheater * Picnic areas * Pavilions * Tennis courts * Boat launches * Marina with restaurant * Soccer fields * Disc golf * Basketball court * Horseback riding stables ==Fees, Permits, etc. == <!-- Please list any Fees, Permits, Regulations, etc. that may be required on this trail.--> The park has no day use, trail head, or entrance fees. Camping fees range from $11-$20 per night depending on time of year and site amenities plus a $3 per reservation fee and taxes. Reservations can be made [http://tnstateparks.com/parks/campground/warriors-path at their website]. ==Dining== Inside the marina is a snack bar offering select grill items, drinks, and other standard small store concessions. ==Seasonal Events== * Winter Gardening Seminar * Spring Nature Festival * Dragonfly Day * Summer in the Park * Folklife Festival * Environmental Education Workshop * Adopt a Tree * Christmas on the Lake * Recreation and Nature Activities == Misc. Information == <!-- Enter any additional information that doesn't fit an any other fields. Any seasonal features, factoids, etc...? --> Formally a Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) park. The park name is "plural possessive." It is the path of multiple Warriors. In 2019 a major renovation program was announced by the park as part of a $6 million program. Renovations include upgrading the water main, building a new marina with dock and covered slips, transforming the recreation hall on Duck Island into the park headquarters and visitors center, and modify the overflow campground to be better suited to modern large RV's. Work is expected to begin in 2020. No statement of completion time frame. ==Gallery== {{Park trail gallery|Park={{PAGENAME}}}}
