This is a favorite destination when we are in Kingsport. The hiking is great and there is plenty for outdoor adventurers to enjoy. But the real draw for our family is the animals and the planetarium. We enjoy seeing the wolves, owls, turtles and other animals that are in the center. And the planetarium show is the best we have seen. It is both inspiring and educational.

If you have a history fan in your family, don't miss visiting the log cabin containing all sorts of farm implements and period items that show what life was like in more pioneer days.

There is really something for everyone at Bays Mountain. Parking is easy, and trails and information is clearly marked.

We live in Kingsport and we never get tired of going to Bays Mountain Park. We love the Planetarium shows and walking around looking at the animals. Bring a picnic lunch and stay all day. You will not regret it.. Beautiful views.....
