Directions: From I-81, take I-181 into Kingsport, TN. From
there follow the interstate until you reach the exit for Wilcox Drive, there
will be Bays Mtn. Park signs as well. Once off the exit, turn left at the first
light, and right at the second light (next to an Exxon Station) then take the
next left, and the very next right. Once you reach the end of that street, turn
left, and follow the curving road (Reservoir Road) until you reach the sign for
Bays Mtn. Park on your left, it is after a small hill and a railing. These
directions may be a bit confusing, but any local person knows how to get you to
Bays Mtn.
Trail Information: The trails here have been favorites of
mine for hiking, and once I began trailrunning, I realized what superb running
trails they were as well! There are trails of varying lengths, heights,
and all are listed in the park building.
Miscellaneous Information: It is somewhat of a touristy place until
you hit the trails, then you will seldom run into people.
