Located in Kingsport, Tennessee, Bays Mountain Park facilities include the 3500 acre outdoor classroom, a 44 acre lake, and a nature center/museum, inside of which is a planetarium with a 40 foot diameter dome. The Park is nestled in the northeastern end of the Bays Mountain formation only a few miles from Historic Downtown Kingsport. Framed on all sides by mountain ridges, much of the park lies in a natural basin and is a protected haven for wildlife. Open all year, Bays Mountain beckons visitors to enjoy various activities through all seasons.

At Bays Mountain Park a leisurely walk in the Spring may reveal over 60 kinds of wildflowers as you hear a distant grouse drumming on a log to call for a mate. Autumn in the southern Appalachians is not to be missed. Maples, sourwoods, and tulip trees come ablaze with color as migrating waterfowl pause on our lake during their southward journey. The quiet snows of winter invite cross country skiers to test their skills on our 25 miles of trails, spotting deer and wild turkey as they go. Truly, Bays Mountain Park is a park for all seasons!!

Bays Mountain Park has also been the gracious host for Appalachian GhostWalks' "Legendary Cherokee Bigfoot Adventure Tour" which starts at the front entrance of the Bays Mountain Park Nature Center and Planetarium. We encourage everyone to visit this beautiful Kingsport park and State Nature Preserve to enjoy all that it has to offer to include Barge rides, zip lining, planetarium shows, a zoo with wolves, owls, and more!!

Here Are a Few Reviews From Past Vacationing Guests

We have done the Greeneville GhostWalk twice as well as the Appalachian GhostWalk tour of Jonesborough and I can't wait to book my next adventure. Full of history and excitement, the guides are amazing, and even my teenager is interested in the history lessons given by the guides. Thank you so much for the wonderful experiences. - Jennifer Alexander

Spent the day doing the Appalachian Caverns and Jonesborough Ghost Tour for my Anniversary. Fantastic time planning on coming back. Great day with my husband, our guides Stacey and William. Big Thank You!!! - Sherri Honaker

Michael Combs was an excellent guide! Intelligent, outgoing, full of energy, and very animated. The Abingdon Ghostwalk with my cousin, her husband, and my older brother was amazing. Thanks Michael! - The Pafford Party
