About Warriors' Path State Park

 

Warriors' Path State Park is located in northeastern Tennessee along the shores of the Patrick Henry Reservoir on the Holston River. The park covers a diverse landscape including wooded hills, open meadows, and water expanses. Named after the Great Warriors' Path, a trail used during the Colonial era by Native American warriors, it holds rich historical significance. Today, it offers a wide array of outdoor activities. Hiking and biking trails snake through the park's different ecosystems, offering chances to engage with local wildlife such as deer and a variety of bird species. The park’s lake is a haven for water sports including kayaking and fishing, with largemouth bass and channel catfish commonly caught. Furthermore, Warriors' Path boasts one of the few golf courses in the Tennessee State Park system and a special boundless playground designed for children of all abilities. The park’s blend of natural beauty, historical context, and recreation facilities make it a frequent choice for families and outdoor enthusiasts.
