A short ridgetop loop in Warriors' Path State Park, on a wooded peninsula above the South Fork Holston River. The trail leaves the boat launch on an old roadbed, climbs gently onto the ridge, and traces the bluff past overlooks of the river and Fort Patrick Henry Reservoir, with I-81 visible across the water. Side paths branch toward the lake, so follow the blazes at the forks. The bluff edges are unfenced, so keep children and dogs close. Dogs welcome on leash; no entry fees.
