Kingsport Greenbelt

About 14 of us did Kingsport Greenbelt, at least a section of it, and we were quite pleased with this urban trail.  The trail is nice and wide and quite scenic.  It's hard to imagine that you are in the middle of Kingsport, TN while taking in the views along the trail.  We began at the Eastern end near the Exchange Place and walked about 3.3 miles before heading back.  The trail is well marked with distances both ways, and has a couple of restrooms and water fountains available.  Benches were widely available along the trail as well.  Most of our hike was along Reedy Creek, which was quite muddy from recent rains.  Once we neared the old Kingsport Mall, the creek appeared to be the home of several species of ducks.  We walked a bit further and took a break for a snack and then headed back and called it a day.  We decided though, we would like to return and do the entire trail.
