Kingsport, Tennessee skyline: the 16 most iconic buildings and best views in Kingsport

A beautiful place right in the heart of Kingsport you feel like you're in another world! I highly recommend it!

Such an amazing attraction to have in a city. There are so many cool features—from the beautiful river views on the West end to the wildlife you see on the East end. It’s been so much fun exploring the Greenbelt!

Here's a nice review from youtube. Can we get water fountains repaired with filtered water bottle fillers? https://youtu.be/92bJCU3OsNc?si=t0z4Ciqek8uF30ZU

Part of the southern end of the trail is still closed. Pretty bumpy in spots, could use some TLC

Great place to ride bicycles with the family and get a workout

Great place to walk, run or cycle. Round trip (end to end, there and back) is about 24 miles. Note - the section opposite The Netherland Inn is being replaced and the temporary gravel surface is unkind to mountain bikes

Peaceful, beautiful. I love walking here.

My daughter got married at Brooke's Pavillion, and she said it was everything she dreamed it would be. The staff were kind and helpful, even ensuring the chairs were all dry after a surprise storm.

Went to a wedding yesterday at Harvey's Barn at Allandale. I was embarrassed for the couple. The wedding was outside and nothing was cleaned up. Large tree branches laying around, the gazebo had leaves all through it, and the side walk they walked down was not even cleaned off. The reception was up stairs in the barn that was at least 100 degrees. 1 little box fan up there with the very high ceiling fans. Unbelievable for what they charge to rent this place.

This was my family's first visit to the mansion. Was a neat experience. We toured the mansion, the barns, and the activities that were available. There were many helpful staff wherever we went to answer questions. Our favorite spot was the open picnic barn. My Granddaughters had a fun time dancing around in it. Would be a great spot to rent for almost any event.

Cool place to photograph, especially around by the pond. Great place for events and activities as well. It is really neat when they open the mansion itself and allow people to tour through the inside. This happened during the annual car show at least when I was there. There's several nice spots to do photo shoots and it's a good place to walk and enjoy the outdoors a but as well. The amphitheater is really nice in the warmer months, too. There's food vendors who come set up and they invite really good bands to come play. Definitely expect to park in the grass most the time when you go, though. This is usually where the trash can painting for Fun Fest happens as well.

This place is amazing. We were fortunate enough to be able to get married in the mansion, and everything was clean and beautiful. We still come to fish the ponds with our little boy 10 years later. Man time flys

I just had my wedding at Brooks Pavilion and it was absolutely perfect. The pavilion was perfect for the reception and the ceremony in front of the lake was beautiful.

I've officiated a few weddings at Allendale Mansion and have loved every one of them. Everyone was very accommodating, the brides & grooms always looked gorgeous and dapper. Adaquate room for activities and plenty of restrooms. I'd gladly choose Allendale again if you're looking for a wedding venue that's in your budget.

I had never been to Netherland Inn even though I have drove passed many times and lived here for many years. I was looking at events on Facebook and found that Afternoon Tea. I love doing afternoon tea, but my boyfriend loves it even more. I read the post many times to look for age or gender restrictions. There were none. I shared the post with him, and he bought tickets almost immediately for both of us. We arrived early and checked it. It was the most lovely experience. We sat in the back corner with a mother/daughter couple. The place was beautifully decorated. The food was wonderful. The tea was wonderful, but I will bring extra tea bags for myself that I'm not allergic to in the future. Everyone was helpful with me on a cane. Everything was wonderful until we were leaving. My boyfriend was the only male present, but he didn't mind. One of the hostesses turned to him and asked how did he enjoy a women's afternoon tea. That statement spoiled the wonderful day. Why did it matter to her since he paid for the 2 tickets? Why did she need to say anything at all? If it was a women's only afternoon tea, why didn't it say anything in the event description? This was a fundraiser. I don't know if we will go back.

My family & I had a wonderful Christmas-time experience this year. The volunteers were welcoming & knowledgeable.

Beautiful place to visit and so much history there! Loved learning about!

It was a very nice place to visit. A lot of history at this place

My friend and I went walking here one evening. We are both new to the area and this was a nice lil jewel to stumble upon. Very pretty.

Visited the Daniel Boone cabin.

Old cabins and one of them was the one Daniel Boone and Rebecca actually lived in .It was moved there from the actual place that they lived at.

One of my favorite place’s to get away in Kingsport. The librarians are amazing and very knowledgeable, the Library is always very clean and well organized. Overall they have tons of selections to chose from for your curious mind, not to mention tons of space to sit and read/relax in silence. They also offer computers for free use on the 2nd floor during business hours which is a huge bonus!

Beautiful library but absolutely horrible experience because it is like homeless shelter. I doubt very much bathrooms, seats and headsets are sanitized every time homeless people using them and there are a lot of them, they are coming there like home and management is not doing anything about it. Is scary and feels unsafe to go there and take kids.

Lovely library. We love the kids area and the excellent, kind and caring librarians.

Whose bright idea was it to move the public library into the mall?? Really weird…

There is a lot of homeless people hanging out in here. Some have carts, big piles of stuff, and taking up a majority of the tables. I am a student coming to study and it is distracting. The facility is nice but this is not a shelter. I would encourage management to help out with this.

An amazing place to spend an afternoon 💞 if you don't feel like spending a cozy afternoon browsing the charming decorations and displays, the staff is awesome to chat with!! That young Teen's librarian in particular is awesome, I lowkey feel like she's lived a thousand lives as witches and vampires and pumpkin queens- and she has great taste in books!

The children's area is great. Lots of fun things to interact with. The librarians in the children's area are also friendly. There is always an officer on standby, which does seem necessary considering the amount of people who just lurk about. I've put many books on hold from other libraries and have always gotten them in an efficient manner. I love being able to renew or request books online, as well as check out e-books. When I initially came to get a library card, the librarian was pretty unpleasant and condescending. That was an appalling first impression, but almost everything else has been positive. The ground floor copy machine is low-quality. Charging station upstairs is neat. Fountain outside is nice. Overall, I'm definitely a fan of this library.

Not what I was expecting. Mall is not giving what it's supposed to give 🤌🏾. It was like a boring museum with dreadful music/atmosphere. There is no food court. There's only 2 eating places throughout the entire mall (that were not in the same location). The movie theater needs a serious upgrade. It was very small with worn-out 💺.

This mall is sad. On life support. Pretty sure the only thing keeping it alive is the movie theater. Only a couple places to eat: Charley’s Steakery and Italian Village. Italian Village is really good. We always get pizza there. There are more pictures on the walls than stores in the building. If you really want to shop in Kingsport, go to Kingsport Pavilion on East Stone Dr. several stores and places to eat.

We miss the old mall. But those days are gone I suppose. Are really pleased that rural King has located there. Great store and great competition for other outdoor type retailers who need to lower prices. Highly recommend.

This Mall is dead! Nothing hardly left in it! I went there to goto Spencers for a specific item I didn't want to order online. They had a variation of what I wanted. But not exactly. But buy one get one half off on what I went there for.There is still a Belk there and the newest addition is Rural King. U haven't been in there yet.

It was mostly a wasteful experience, the place is well dead. Doesn't really offer any shops worth visiting that you couldn't find at a strip mall. And even then, it's one or two shops. Doesn't offer but one food location, and the employees were too busy chatting with their buddies to realize I was standing looking at the menu for five solid minutes and was never approached to ask if I could be served. So I left. It's a nice environment, even if it is mostly abandoned, so if you're one of those mall walkers trying to get your steps in, it's recommended. Otherwise, this is a complete skip.

No escalator equals a dead mall. This mall has such great potential that just seems squandered. The Italian Village should be an anchor restaurant that could easily be surrounded by and part of a food court. Add a Chik Fil-A and the traffic would be greatly increased. No idea why the Rural King declined to have store access from the mall but both businesses would benefit from the foot traffic if they opened that side up. The store fronts are almost all boarded up, although the wall art is more attractive than a bare wall, it just strikes me as a sad tribute to Kingsport's past instead of inspiring about the future. The rent must be incredibly high and discourages smaller shops from being there. The Cheese steak place doesn't have its own restroom and no one seems to be working the counter. The former Chinese restaurant space is a brash advertisement for how empty this sad relic has become.

Stopped in at Belks with mom. Was surprised the selection of clothes had improved so much from last year.

Beautifully decorated, themed distillery. Great atmosphere. Everything is produced right there! The owner was very nice and was happy to let us sample anything he makes. We bought several types of moonshine, whiskey, and rum. I'd definitely recommend stopping in to check it out.

Seen the billboard on I-81 and definitely used to stop in. Definitely not disappointed. These guys produce some very good product, and are really great guys to chat with. As the company name may suggest, they are actual Fire Fighters, which is just an added bonus.

I can't give five stars because it ain't moonshine if it's taxed but I will say their "moonshine" is good and I like the theme of this place. Decent prices too.

Very nice place great customer service. Explains all about his different moonshine And his bourbon whiskey. Very good tasting moonshine especially his gold award winning 100 proof moonshine. You will not leave empty handed

Fabulous distillery, locally owned and operated, great line of products!

We don’t really like liquor (more into craft beer and wine) but wanted to stop in here anyway because of its uniqueness. Well, after a tasting we determined maybe we DO like liquor and walked away with two moonshines and the spiced rum with plans to stop in again on our next trip to Kingsport in the Spring.

A really cool place. They have several flavors and the owner & attendant was so nice! They even explained the distilling to process to us , taking time out of their day. Definitely worth the stop!

We went to the concert for funfest and saw Clay Walker. It was very nice, laid back, and sounded good. The highlight was the fireworks at the end of the concert. It was such a good place to see the fireworks!

Awesome stadium. Plenty of space. They put our visiting band in the corner though

Was there for the graduating class of 2025. It is a quite nice stadium.

Very nice place for concerts 😁

Sure has changed a lot since I was there in 94-95. Looks good... Different but good. Major improvement 💪

Another FunFest filled with family friendly festivities. Our family thoroughly enjoyed all of the events & activities, especially the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert followed by the fireworks display.

A very nice stadium. We was there watching the FCA All Star Football Game

Came to town to visit son's family for Christmas. Drove around looking Christmas lights walked around looking at the decorated trees from different local businesses. So pretty. I loved seeing the Wisemen on Camels and the Shepherds set up near the Navity scene on different church lawns that made it look like they were traveling to the Manger. Great job on decorating at the church circle and other areas downtown.

'tis the Season! So lovely that they setup the Nativity scene at this landmark circle. Love the placement of the tall camels.

Enjoyed seeing this well-planned part of the town. The churches were pretty, as was the circle they surround. Wish people built things as impressively today.

The Christmas lights make the area look beautiful.

Historic place surrounded by churches and businesses.

Nightime Christmas parade was fantastic!

City has spent a lot of funds updating the traffic circle. Hopefully, it will repair the recent crash damage and not let it languish on like the Kingsport Welcome Sign in the Colonial Heights area (well over a year).

The app amd website are constantly down, if the wind changes directiosn they close early or don't open at all. They open after business hours start and close before business hours end. The app is very limited when it does work. We'll be going somewhere else

I absolutely love this branch of the bank. The staff has always gone above and beyond to make sure all my banking questions and needs were met. Furthermore the continued dedication to providing such a kind and warming atmosphere allows for a more personal connection to be formed. Tammy, Shane, and Miranda are truly fantastic individuals and have made it so I do all my banking at this branch because how great they treat the people who frequent the branch.

The staff at this branch have always been very helpful. The staff is very nice and goes out of their way to help you achieve all your banking needs. Would Recommend all my friends to bank here!

Staff is nice and friendly. The branch manager Tammy will help you with all your banking needs. She’s always making sure you’re informed of current rates and promotions.

Been baking there for years. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Everyone is helpful and friendly.

The most amazing experience I have ever had at a bank. The one teller in particular, Miranda I think, is one of the nicest and helpful people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Came in here today after ECU was incredibly rude while trying to set up a business account. The branch manager had our small business set up and taken care of immediately and was super nice!

Nothing there, really. No marker, a baseball field dominates the battleground. I guess to history it was just a skirmish between settlers and Cherokee, but to my ancestor, it was the largest battle in Tennessee in the Revolutionary War between militia an British baked forces. There were only 260 combatants and TN was not a state yet, but if you are going to recall the battle, there should be a marker

Very positive vibe. A bit neglected piece of history that can draw flocks of tourists if managed properly.

Along side the Kingsport Greenbelt Trail, a swinging bridge leads to the Long Island Of The Holston where amazing history was made.

Supposed to be haunted!

Ok place. Nice Indian monument

Such a beautiful peaceful place to be even at night

It's beautiful and children love it!
