Trail Overview[edit]
In-and-out hike along a level old gravel road around the bend in Holston River at Phipps Bend Industrial Park. Opportunity to see various waterfowl due to the adjacent wetlands and river.
How to get there[edit]
From Kingsport, TN
- Take Highway 11W west.
- Turn south on Phipps Bend Road.
- At the Cooper Standard business, turn left/east onto unmarked Schmiede Road. First left after Technology Drive.
- Reach parking area at coordinates. The trail is past locked gate heading east along gravel roadway.
Route Description[edit]
An in-and-out hike on an old gravel road along the Holston River - six miles round trip with very limited elevation change. Path is also used by trail runners, mountain bikes, and horses. Ends at farmer's field.
Typical Conditions[edit]
Hard packed gravel - shared with bikes and horses, so be alert. Horses keep the gravel churned up so a more rocky experience. Edged by wetlands and Holston River with lots of wildlife to observe.
Fees, Permits, etc.[edit]
No fee. Opens 30 minutes before sunrise and closes 30 minutes after sunset.
Managed by Phipps Bend Industrial Park. In February 2020, there was construction to install a culvert to allow better control of the wetlands water level.
After the Hike[edit]
Phipps Bend was to be a nuclear power plant site. There are couple of large "ruins" left behind to see.
Misc. Information[edit]
Avoid this location during second Saturday in October as there is a trail race held here!
