Cross listing Waymark Code: WM4W9Y "CCC - Garden Mountain Lookout Tower - Kingsport" since applicable here.
There is a $3 fee for Bays Mtn park, which is well worth it due to the large number of activities available. The hike up here is a good hour from the parking lot. The firetower is still open for public to climb.
Benchmark GA3430 is the Bays Mtn Firetower in Kingsport, TN. My first placed geocache GCHXDM "Bays Mtn Firetower" is here. Also this point is a starting reference for multicache GC1BEW3 "Fear Factor #1 - Acrophobia".
