Warrior’s is a state park located beside the Colonial Heights section of Kingsport.
Pros:
Location is one of the best things about the park. It’s just off Fort Henry Drive and only minutes away from almost anywhere in the city. There is great parking and you can choose to run on a paved no vehicles trail or you can run along the road. The trail around Duck Island is flat but if you want there are a couple of paths that go up a small hill. If you decide to cross the bridge and run on the road you can go back to the main gate, go through the camp ground, by the marina or to the back entrance which is a steep climb. You can also use the park as a launching pad to run the community just outside of the back gate. Bonus-being a state park on a recreation lake means that the scenery is great!
Cons:
Almost all of the trails and roads are on the lake but as I found out today, if it’s cold and blustery there is nothing to stop the wind until it gets to you. On a pretty day the place starts to get pretty crowded and during the spring and summer the weekends are a morning only option because the place gets packed.
