Unfortunately for travelers, this is not a quick swing-by stop. From I-81 Exit 59, head northwest for two miles towards Kingsport on TN36 (Fort Henry Drive) to the third traffic light (Sunoco, CVS on corners). Turn right on Colonial Heights Road for roughly half mile. Turn right on Warriors Drive. Stay on this narrow road as it crosses railroad tracks and into the park. At the bottom of the hill is parking for the playground. (If you miss the turn for Warriors Drive, then stay on Colonial Heights Road until it crosses railroad tracks. Turn right on Hemlock Road and enter the main entrance to the park. Follow the main park road around the lake to the same parking area.)
