This mountain top lake has hiking trails and a nature center with rescued animals. The volunteers working with the animals are very knowledgable. There are many hiking trails of various lengths and offer fantastic views of the valley. You are able to walk across the dam. Picnic tables are available. Admission was $3/vehicle.

The nature center and animal exhibits were great. We would like to have gone on the barge trip also, but we did not see any parking at the boat landing level. The trail to the parking area was too steep. We are glad the animals there have been rescued ( not purchased) and are the park is teaching visitors about... More

Great place to get in touch with nature and animals in their natural habitat. My daughter loved the deer...would definitely recommend!

We take the kids there before fire works on the fourth of July. We take a picnic and run around in the woods and visit the displays. It has always been a wonderful place to visit.

Our family with two grandchildren were here for spring break, so one of our outings was a trip to Bay's Mountain. We recently moved to the area and had not been there before. The road signs easily help one to find their way off of I-26 in Kingsport. It was a beautiful, but cool spring day, so the walk around... More

A nice place to visit for a relaxing outdoors trip. Lately they've added a bit more, with the addition of a zip line and rope course, however due to to park only receiving a small amount of funding they only operate those attractions a few hours per week and it's not available every day. They have a planetarium show, but... More
