Outdoor Recreation
Any nature-lover will feel right at home here in our bright city. Kingsport [the only city in America that encircles an entire mountain, which is in itself one of the nation's largest city parks] offers thrillingly-quick access to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and a delightful array of outdoor activities, such as skiing, frisbee-golfing, white-water rafting, boating, hiking, and horseback-riding, just to name a few.
Did we mention that Golf Digest Magazine voted Kingsport one of the "Best Places to Live" in the U.S. for golfers?
