Activities
Boating and Marina
Boats available for rental at the marina include paddle boats, single and tandem kayaks, paddleboards, paddleboats and canoes. The marina is open year-round, Wednesday through Sunday, but hours vary by season.
Swimming
The pool at Warriors' Path State Park will remain closed for the 2020 summer season. The decision was made to keep this facility closed in the interest of public health and staff safety. COVID-19 presents unique challenges for managing pools. Pools are confined spaces not conducive to social distancing. The very nature of lifeguarding requires close contact with pool users and creates the potential for unnecessary risk in life-saving situations. We apologize for this inconvenience and look forward to the next opportunity we have to reopen the pool for your enjoyment.
Our park remains open and is still a great place for you to enjoy water-based recreation this summer. Find other activities at the park here.
Hiking
12 miles of hiking trails take you through field and forest, over high bluffs and along peaceful streams. You’re likely to see a variety of native wildlife and wildflowers, and you might even find a creek that disappears! We do offer guided nature hikes, but, if you’d like your own personal “guide,” check out the self-guiding trail booklet for the Lakeshore Trail.
Golfing
Warriors’ Path Golf Course is an 18-hole course located on the shores of Fort Patrick Henry Lake and the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.
Biking
Bicycles are welcome on park roads as well as the paved path around Duck Island and over 12.5 more miles of scenic mountain bike trails.
Fishing
Fort Patrick Henry Lake is a man-made reservoir on the South Fork of the Holston River. It’s a popular spot for fishing and pleasure boating. Catches include bass, crappie, Hybrid Striped Bass, catfish and trout.
Birding
Waterfowl frequent Fort Patrick Henry Lake at Warriors Path. The forests in the park are home to many songbirds. For more park and nearby birding locations, view flyer.
